Add TIF_FD_SLOTS and test it once the untraced system call has stored its result. A task that reserved descriptors calls syscall_trace_leave() and joins ret_from_sys_call with the flag gone. We mirror the traced error path where the switch stack is set up and the return address and the syscall restart state are placed in callee-saved registers. Btw, let's remove alpha... It's a pain.
