[PATCH v5] riscv: entry: set a0 = -ENOSYS only when syscall != -1

When we test seccomp with 6.4 kernel, we found errno has wrong value.
If we deny NETLINK_AUDIT with EAFNOSUPPORT, after f0bddf50586d, we will
get ENOSYS instead. We got same result with commit 9c2598d43510 ("riscv:
entry: Save a0 prior syscall_enter_from_user_mode()").

After analysing code, we think that regs->a0 = -ENOSYS should only be
executed when syscall != -1. In __seccomp_filter, when seccomp rejected
this syscall with specified errno, they will set a0 to return number as
syscall ABI, and then return -1. This return number is finally pass as
return number of syscall_enter_from_user_mode, and then is compared with
NR_syscalls after converted to ulong (so it will be ULONG_MAX). The
condition syscall < NR_syscalls will always be false, so regs->a0 = -ENOSYS
is always executed. It covered a0 set by seccomp, so we always get
ENOSYS when match seccomp RET_ERRNO rule.

Fixes: f0bddf50586d ("riscv: entry: Convert to generic entry")

v4 -> v5: add Tested-by Emil Renner Berthing <emil.renner.berthing@canonical.com>
v3 -> v4: use long instead of ulong to reduce type cast and avoid
implementation-defined behavior, and make the judgment of syscall
invalid more explicit
v2 -> v3: use if-statement instead of set default value,
clarify the type of syscall
v1 -> v2: added explanation on why always got ENOSYS
