ARM: Call syscall_trace_exit even when system call skipped

Hi Kees,

As you probably know, ptracing of processes affected by SECCOMP_RET_TRAP
is broken on ARM since your commit v3.7-rc1-11-gad75b51459ae.

Could you review the proposed fix, please?

P.S. There is a test for this kernel bug in strace test suite,
you might find it useful:
