[PATCH v16 13/18] arm64: syscall: Simplify el0_svc_common() syscall exit path

Remove the redundant nested conditional check within the system call
exit path of el0_svc_common() to streamline the exit sequence.
When entering this fast-path block, CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ is guaranteed to be
disabled. Under this constraint, the code logic inside the block becomes
completely identical to the evaluation performed within
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(). Therefore, invoking the inline helper
directly achieves full logical equivalence while eliminating duplicate
code nesting.
No functional changes.
