x86/entry: Treat out of range and gap system calls the same

Browse source 
The current 64-bit system call entry code treats out-of-range system
calls differently than system calls that map to a hole in the system
call table.

This is visible to the user if system calls are intercepted via ptrace or
seccomp and the return value (regs->ax) is modified: in the former case,
the return value is preserved, and in the latter case, sys_ni_syscall() is
called and the return value is forced to -ENOSYS.

The API spec in <asm-generic/syscalls.h> is very clear that only
(int)-1 is the non-system-call sentinel value, so make the system call
behavior consistent by calling sys_ni_syscall() for all invalid system
call numbers except for -1.

Although currently sys_ni_syscall() simply returns -ENOSYS, calling it
explicitly is friendly for tracing and future possible extensions, and
as this is an error path there is no reason to optimize it.
