Vineet Gupta 2590411220 Revert "ARC: entry: fix potential EFA clobber when TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE"
This reverts commit 00fdec98d9.
(but only from 5.2 and prior kernels)

The original commit was a preventive fix based on code-review and was
auto-picked for stable back-port (for better or worse).
It was OK for v5.3+ kernels, but turned up needing an implicit change
68e5c6f073 "(ARC: entry: EV_Trap expects r10 (vs. r9) to have
 exception cause)" merged in v5.3 which itself was not backported.
So to summarize the stable backport of this patch for v5.2 and prior
kernels is busted and it won't boot.

The obvious solution is backport 68e5c6f073 but that is a pain as
it doesn't revert cleanly and each of affected kernels (so far v4.19,
v4.14, v4.9, v4.4) needs a slightly different massaged varaint.
So the easier fix is to simply revert the backport from 5.2 and prior.
The issue was not a big deal as it would cause strace to sporadically
not work correctly.

Waldemar Brodkorb first reported this when running ARC uClibc regressions
on latest stable kernels (with offending backport). Once he bisected it,
the analysis was trivial, so thx to him for this.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
