[PATCH] riscv/entry: get correct syscall number from syscall_get_nr()

From: Celeste Liu <CoelacanthusHex at gmail.com>

The return value of syscall_enter_from_user_mode() is always -1 when the
syscall was filtered. We can't know whether syscall_nr is -1 when we get -1
from syscall_enter_from_user_mode(). And the old syscall variable is
unusable because syscall_enter_from_user_mode() may change a7 register.
So get correct syscall number from syscall_get_nr().

So syscall number part of return value of syscall_enter_from_user_mode()
is completely useless. We can remove it from API and require caller to
get syscall number from syscall_get_nr(). But this change affect more
architectures and will block more time. So we split it into another
patchset to avoid block this fix. (Other architectures can works
without this change but riscv need it, see Link: tag below)
