    arm64: fix missing syscall trace exit · 04d7e098

    If a syscall is entered without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, then it goes on
    the fast path.  It's then possible to have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE added in
    the middle of the syscall, but ret_fast_syscall doesn't check this flag
    again.  This causes a ptrace syscall-exit-stop to be missed.
    
    For instance, from a PTRACE_EVENT_FORK reported during do_fork, the
    tracer might resume with PTRACE_SYSCALL, setting TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE.
    Now the completion of the fork should have a syscall-exit-stop.
    
    Russell King fixed this on arm by re-checking _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK in the
    fast exit path.  Do the same on arm64.
