ARM: 7475/1: sys_trace: allow all syscall arguments to be updated via ptrace
Prior to syscall invocation, __sys_trace only reloads r0-r3 from the kernel stack, preventing the debugger from updating arguments 5-7 when signalled via ptrace. This patch updates the code to reload r0-r6, updating arguments 5 and 6 on the stack (argument 7 is only used by OABI indirect syscalls and can remain in a register).
