selftests: sud_test: return correct emulated syscall value on RISC-V
[ Upstream commit 17c67ed752d6a456602b3dbb25c5ae4d3de5deab ]
Currently, the sud_test expects the emulated syscall to return the
emulated syscall number. This assumption only works on architectures
were the syscall calling convention use the same register for syscall
number/syscall return value. This is not the case for RISC-V and thus
the return value must be also emulated using the provided ucontext.
