Revert "arm64: syscall: Ensure saved x0 is kept in-sync with tracer updates"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit e057b94772.

Sashiko points out that updating 'orig_x0' after secure_computing()
has returned is too late to handle the case where a seccomp filter is
re-evaluated after initially returning SECCOMP_RET_TRACE. This means
that a tracer can manipulate the first argument of the syscall behind
seccomp's back.

For now, revert the initial fix and we'll have another crack at it soon.
Since the incorrect fix was cc'd to stable, do the same here with an
appropriate fixes tag.
