This fixes a bug where a clone syscall that is restarted due to a
pending signal is restarted with garbage in the register %o0 that holds
the clone flags.
This keep the original %i0 of a syscall (as seen from the trap handler)
in %l6 rather than %l5. This is done because for clone (and also qfork)
%l5 is used as a temporary variable in the same register window. Before
this, that temporary value would be the value that was then incorrectly
used as the orig_i0 argument to do_notify_resume.
In order to preserve %l6, the temporary usage of %l6 in ret_sys_call is
changed to use %l5 instead and the setting %l6 to 0 or 1 was removed.
The use of that 0 or 1 value in %l6 was removed in commit
28e6103665.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
