If a tracer sets the syscall number to an invalid one, allow the return
value set by the tracer to be returned the tracee.

The test for NR_syscalls is already at entry_64.S, and it's at
do_syscall_trace_enter only to skip audit and trace.

After this, seccomp_bpf selftests complete just fine, as the failing test
was using ptrace to change the syscall to return an error or a fake value,
but were failing as it was always returning -ENOSYS.

Ping? Any comments on this?

Thanks.
