Mostly for grep. We have more syscall_get_nr() != -1 checks. Even right after
syscall_set_nr-like code, see putreg32().

I think this needs another helper (which can have more users) and some cleanups.

But this is another issue, so please forget. I agree that syscall_get_nr() in
this code will probably just add the unnecessary confusion.
