lib/syscall: Clear return values when no stack

Commit:

  aa1f1a6396 ("lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall()")

... added logic to handle a process stack not existing, but left sp and pc
uninitialized, which can be later reported via /proc/$pid/syscall for zombie
processes, potentially exposing kernel memory to userspace.

  Zombie /proc/$pid/syscall before:
  -1 0xffffffff9a060100 0xffff92f42d6ad900

  Zombie /proc/$pid/syscall after:
  -1 0x0 0x0
