[PATCH 3/3] audit: Use syscall_get_return_value to get syscall return code in audit_syscall_exit

regs_return_value for some architectures like arm64 simply retrieve register value from pt_regs without sign extension in 32-bit compatible case and cause audit to have false syscall return code. For example, 32-bit -13 would be treated as 4294967283 below. type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1611110715.887:582): arch=40000028 syscall=322 success=yes exit=4294967283 We just added proper sign extension in syscall_get_return_value which should be used instead.
