[PATCH v2 1/1] arm64: Do not forget syscall when starting a new thread.

This patch enables exeve*() to be traced with syscalls:sys_exit_execve
tracepoint.
Previous to it, by calling forget_syscall(), this tracepoint would not
print its information as syscall is -1.
So, this patch removes call to forget_syscall() and set regs->syscallno
to its previous value.
