ARC: entry: fix potential EFA clobber when TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE
Trap handler for syscall tracing reads EFA (Exception Fault Address), in case strace wants PC of trap instruction (EFA is not part of pt_regs as of current code). However this EFA read is racy as it happens after dropping to pure kernel mode (re-enabling interrupts). A taken interrupt could context-switch, trigger a different task's trap, clobbering EFA for this execution context. Fix this by reading EFA early, before re-enabling interrupts. A slight side benefit is de-duplication of FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN in trap handler. The trap handler is common to both ARCompact and ARCv2 builds too. This just came out of code rework/review and no real problem was reported but is clearly a potential problem specially for strace.
