x86/entry: Use SYSCALL_DEFINE() macros for sys_modify_ldt()
[ Upstream commit da20ab35180780e4a6eadc804544f1fa967f3567 ] We do not have tracepoints for sys_modify_ldt() because we define it directly instead of using the normal SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros. However, there is a reason sys_modify_ldt() does not use the macros: it has an 'int' return type instead of 'unsigned long'. This is a bug, but it's a bug cemented in the ABI. What does this mean? If we return -EINVAL from a function that returns 'int', we have 0x00000000ffffffea in %rax. But, if we return -EINVAL from a function returning 'unsigned long', we end up with 0xffffffffffffffea in %rax, which is wrong. To work around this and maintain the 'int' behavior while using the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros, so we add a cast to 'unsigned int' in both implementations of sys_modify_ldt().
