x86-64, compat: Retruncate rax after ia32 syscall entry tracing
In commit d4d6715, we reopened an old hole for a 64-bit ptracer touching a 32-bit tracee in system call entry. A %rax value set via ptrace at the entry tracing stop gets used whole as a 32-bit syscall number, while we only check the low 32 bits for validity. Fix it by truncating %rax back to 32 bits after syscall_trace_enter, in addition to testing the full 64 bits as has already been added.
