[RFC PATCH v2 1/2] LoongArch: Only clone and clone3 need to call SAVE_STATIC

[Tiezhu Yang]

In handle_syscall, it is unnecessary to call SAVE_STATIC for all syscalls,
only clone and clone3 need to do this operation, so it is better to check
the syscall number before call SAVE_STATIC.

With this patch, it can reduce many store instructions.
