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.
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.
