Add SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER support to the Alpha architecture and fix
syscall entry and ptrace issues uncovered by the seccomp-bpf selftests.
The syscall entry path is reworked to consistently track syscall state
using r0, r1 and r2:
- r1 holds the active syscall number
- r2 preserves the original syscall number for restart
- r0 carries the return value, with r19 (a3) indicating success/error
This allows syscall restarts to be permitted only for valid ERESTART*
return codes and prevents kernel-internal restart values from leaking to
userspace. The syscall tracing error marker is corrected to use the saved
syscall number slot, matching the Alpha ABI.
Additionally, implement minimal PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET
support for NT_PRSTATUS, exporting struct pt_regs directly. This fixes
ptrace-based seccomp tests that previously failed with -EIO.
With these changes, seccomp-bpf and ptrace syscall tests pass reliably on
Alpha.
