x86: auditsyscall: fix fastpath return value after reschedule
In the CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL fast-path for x86 64-bit system calls, we can pass a bad return value and/or error indication for the system call to audit_syscall_exit(). This happens when TIF_NEED_RESCHED was set as the system call returned, so we went out to schedule() and came back to the exit-audit fast-path. The fix is to reload the user return value register from the pt_regs before using it for audit_syscall_exit(). Both the 32-bit kernel's fast path and the 64-bit kernel's 32-bit system call fast paths work slightly differently, so that they always leave the fast path entirely to reschedule and don't return there, so they don't have the analogous bugs.
