ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall skipping for tracers
Since commit 4e57a4d ("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.
