arm64: handle sys and undef traps consistently
If an EL0 instruction in the SYS class triggers an exception, do_sysintr looks for a sys64_hook matching the instruction, and if none is found, injects a SIGILL. This mirrors what we do for undefined instruction encodings in do_undefinstr, where we look for an undef_hook matching the instruction, and if none is found, inject a SIGILL. Over time, new SYS instruction encodings may be allocated. Prior to allocation, exceptions resulting from these would be handled by do_undefinstr, whereas after allocation these may be handled by do_sysintr. To ensure that we have consistent behaviour if and when this happens, it would be beneficial to have do_sysinstr fall back to do_undefinstr.
