Message-ID <[email protected]>
Invoking sys_ni_syscall() from a code path, which already knows that the
syscall number is invalid just to assign -ENOSYS to regs->ax is a pointless
exercise. It's even redundant as the low level entry code already has set
regs->ax to -ENOSYS on entry.

Remove the extra conditionals and the function calls.
