ARC: [Review] Prevent incorrect syscall restarts
Per Al Viro's "signals for dummies" https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/6/366 there are 3 golden rules for (not) restarting syscalls: " What we need to guarantee is * restarts do not happen on signals caught in interrupts or exceptions * restarts do not happen on signals caught in sigreturn() * restart should happen only once, even if we get through do_signal() many times." ARC Port already handled #1, this patch fixes #2 and #3. We use the additional state in pt_regs->orig_r8 to ckh if restarting has already been done once. Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this.
