ARM: Call syscall_trace_exit even when system call skipped

From: Dmitry V. Levin <hidden>

Hi Kees,

As you probably know, ptracing of processes affected by SECCOMP_RET_TRAP
is broken on ARM since your commit v3.7-rc1-11-gad75b51459ae.

Could you review the proposed fix, please?

P.S. There is a test for this kernel bug in strace test suite,
you might find it useful:

On at least x86 and ARM64, and as documented in the ptrace man page
a skipped system call will still cause a syscall exit ptrace stop.

Previous to this commit 32-bit ARM did not, resulting in strace
being confused when seccomp skips system calls.

This change also impacts programs that use ptrace to skip system calls.
