Similar to syscall_set_arguments() that complements
syscall_get_arguments(), introduce syscall_set_nr()
that complements syscall_get_nr().

syscall_set_nr() is going to be needed along with
syscall_set_arguments() on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

I think there should be a

The reason why syscall_get_nr() has this check on s390 (and similar checks
on arc, powerpc, and sparc) is that syscall_get_nr() can be called while
the target task is not in syscall.

Unlike syscall_get_nr(), syscall_set_nr() can be called only when the
target task is stopped for tracing on entering syscall: the description in
include/asm-generic/syscall.h explicitly states that, and the follow-up
patch that introduces PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO adds a syscall_set_nr() call
when the tracee is stopped on entering syscall in either
PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_ENTRY or PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_SECCOMP state.

I don't mind adding a check, but syscall_set_nr() invocation while the
target task is not in syscall wouldn't be a result of user actions but
a kernel programing error, and in that case WARN_ON_ONCE() would be more
appropriate.

If calling syscall_set_nr() while the target task is not in syscall was
legal, then syscall_set_nr() would have been designed to return a value
indicating the status of operation.

Anyway, I'll add an explanatory comment to syscall_set_nr() on all
architectures where syscall_get_nr() has a check.
