Properly return -ENOSYS for syscall -1 instead of leaving the return value
uninitialized. This fixes the strace teststuite.

IIUC, this is all dead code anyway for the path where seccomp actually
rejects the syscall, since it should do the rejection directly in
handle_syscall_trace_enter(), which is called above this hunk. So it
seems good to me.
