arm64: compat: Ensure upper 32 bits of x0 are zero on syscall return



commit 15956689a0e60aa0c795174f3c310b60d8794235 upstream.

Although we zero the upper bits of x0 on entry to the kernel from an
AArch32 task, we do not clear them on the exception return path and can
therefore expose 64-bit sign extended syscall return values to userspace
via interfaces such as the 'perf_regs' ABI, which deal exclusively with
64-bit registers.

Explicitly clear the upper 32 bits of x0 on return from a compat system
call.
