S390: Always use svc 0

On s390x syscalls are triggered by svc instruction. One can
pass the syscall number encoded in the instruction "svc 123"
or by storing it in r1:
lghi r1,123
svc 0

If the syscall number is encoded in the instruction, this can
cause broken syscall restarts.  Therefore this patch is now just
passing the syscall number in r1.
