[PATCH v9 03/16] arm64/ptrace: Return early for ptrace_report_syscall_entry() error

The generic entry abort the syscall_trace_enter() sequence if
ptrace_report_syscall_entry() errors out, but arm64 not.
As the ptrace_report_syscall_entry() comment said, the calling arch code
should abort the system call and must prevent normal entry so no system
call is made if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() return nonzero.
In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code,
return early if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() encounters an error.
