riscv: entry: Save a0 prior syscall_enter_from_user_mode()

Browse Source 
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.
