[PATCH v2 2/2] ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall skipping for tracers

Since commit 4e57a4ddf6b0 ("ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store
thread_info->abi_syscall"), the seccomp selftests "syscall_errno"
and "syscall_faked" have been broken. Both seccomp and PTRACE depend
on using the special value of "-1" for skipping syscalls. This value
wasn't working because it was getting masked by __NR_SYSCALL_MASK in
both PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr().
Explicitly test for -1 in PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(),
leaving it exposed when present, allowing tracers to skip syscalls
again.
