ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store thread_info->abi_syscall

The system call number is used in a a couple of places, in particular
ptrace, seccomp and /proc/<pid>/syscall.

The last one apparently never worked reliably on ARM for tasks that are
not currently getting traced.

Storing the syscall number in the normal entry path makes it work,
as well as allowing us to see if the current system call is for OABI
compat mode, which is the next thing I want to hook into.

Since the thread_info->syscall field is not just the number any more, it
is now renamed to abi_syscall. In kernels that enable both OABI and EABI,
the upper bits of this field encode 0x900000 (__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE)
for OABI tasks, while normal EABI tasks do not set the upper bits. This
makes it possible to implement the in_oabi_syscall() helper later.

All other users of thread_info->syscall go through the syscall_get_nr()
helper, which in turn filters out the ABI bits.

Note that the ABI information is lost with PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL, so one
cannot set the internal number to a particular version, but this was
already the case. We could change it to let gdb encode the ABI type along
with the syscall in a CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT-enabled kernel, but that itself
would be a (backwards-compatible) ABI change, so I don't do it here.
