entry: Respect changes to system call number by trace_sys_enter()
When a probe is registered at the trace_sys_enter() tracepoint, and that probe changes the system call number, the old system call still gets executed. This worked correctly until commit b6ec41346103 ("core/entry: Report syscall correctly for trace and audit"), which removed the re-evaluation of the syscall number after the trace point. Restore the original semantics by re-evaluating the system call number after trace_sys_enter(). The performance impact of this re-evaluation is minimal because it only takes place when a trace point is active, and compared to the actual trace point overhead the read from a cache hot variable is negligible.
