    ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall skipping for tracers
    
    [ Upstream commit 4697b5848bd933f68ebd04836362c8de0cacaf71 ]
    
    Since commit 4e57a4ddf6b0 ("ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store
    thread_info->abi_syscall"), the seccomp selftests "syscall_errno"
    and "syscall_faked" have been broken. Both seccomp and PTRACE depend
    on using the special value of "-1" for skipping syscalls. This value
    wasn't working because it was getting masked by __NR_SYSCALL_MASK in
    both PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr().
    
    Explicitly test for -1 in PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(),
    leaving it exposed when present, allowing tracers to skip syscalls
    again.
