Series arm64: invoke syscalls with pt_regs | expand

Commit Message

Mark Rutland July 2, 2018, 11:04 a.m. UTC 
Now that syscalls are invoked with pt_regs, we no longer need to ensure
that the argument regsiters are live in the entry assembly, and it's
fine to not restore them after context_tracking_user_exit() has
corrupted them.
