nios2: add force_successful_syscall_return()

If we use the ancient SysV syscall ABI, we'd better have tell the
kernel how to claim that a negative return value is a success.
Use ->orig_r2 for that - it's inaccessible via ptrace, so it's
a fair game for changes and it's normally[*] non-negative on return
from syscall.  Set to -1; syscall is not going to be restart-worthy
by definition, so we won't interfere with that use either.

[*] the only exception is rt_sigreturn(), where we skip the entire
messing with r1/r2 anyway.

Fixes: 82ed08dd
