[PATCH] arm64: fix missing syscall trace exit

If a syscall is entered without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, then it goes on
the fast path. It's then possible to have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE added in
the middle of the syscall, but ret_fast_syscall doesn't check this flag
again. This causes a ptrace syscall-exit-stop to be missed.
For instance, from a PTRACE_EVENT_FORK reported during do_fork, the
tracer might resume with PTRACE_SYSCALL, setting TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE.
Now the completion of the fork should have a syscall-exit-stop.
Russell King fixed this on arm by re-checking _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK in the
fast exit path. Do the same on arm64.
