Looking at this with fresh eyes, I think we can more closely mirror
syscall_get_error(), and do something like:

static inline long syscall_get_return_value(struct task_struct *task,
struct pt_regs *regs)
{
long val = regs->regs[0];
long error = val;

if (is_compat_thread(task_thread_info(task)))
error = sign_extend64(error, 31);

return IS_ERR_VALUE(error) ? error : val;
}

Thanks,
Mark.
