MIPS: Negate error syscall return in trace
The sys_exit trace event takes a single return value for the system call, which MIPS passes the value of the $v0 (result) register, however MIPS returns positive error codes in $v0 with $a3 specifying that $v0 contains an error code. As a result erroring system calls are traced returning positive error numbers that can't always be distinguished from success. Use regs_return_value() to negate the error code if $a3 is set. Fixes: 1d7bf993e073 ("MIPS: ftrace: Add support for syscall tracepoints.")
