riscv: entry: Save a0 prior syscall_enter_from_user_mode()
The RISC-V calling convention passes the first argument, and the return value in the a0 register. For this reason, the a0 register needs some extra care; When handling syscalls, the a0 register is saved into regs->orig_a0, so a0 can be properly restored for, e.g. interrupted syscalls. This functionality was broken with the introduction of the generic entry patches. Here, a0 was saved into orig_a0 after calling syscall_enter_from_user_mode(), which can change regs->a0 for some paths, incorrectly restoring a0. This is resolved, by saving a0 prior doing the syscall_enter_from_user_mode() call.
