This splits syscall_trace_enter into syscall_trace_enter_phase1 and
syscall_trace_enter_phase2.  Only phase 2 has full pt_regs, and only
phase 2 is permitted to modify any of pt_regs except for orig_ax.
This breaks ptrace, see below.

The intent is that phase 1 can be called from the syscall fast path.

In this implementation, phase1 can handle any combination of
TIF_NOHZ (RCU context tracking), TIF_SECCOMP, and TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT,
unless seccomp requests a ptrace event, in which case phase2 is
forced.

In principle, this could yield a big speedup for TIF_NOHZ as well as
for TIF_SECCOMP if syscall exit work were similarly split up.

How the tracer is expected to get the correct syscall number after that?
There shouldn't be a tracer if a skip is encountered. (A seccomp skip
would skip ptrace.) This behavior hasn't changed, but maybe I don't
see what you mean? (I haven't encountered any problems with syscall
tracing as a result of these changes.)
