[patch 3/4] entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx at kernel.org>
This prepares for changing the return types of
syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() to bool, which in turn separates the
decision of invoking the syscall from the syscall number, which might have
been changed in the call by ptrace, seccomp, tracing.
