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.
