arm64: compat: Avoid sending SIGILL for unallocated syscall numbers

The ARM Linux kernel handles the EABI syscall numbers as follows:

  0           - NR_SYSCALLS-1 : Invoke syscall via syscall table
  NR_SYSCALLS - 0xeffff : -ENOSYS (to be allocated in future)
  0xf0000     - 0xf07ff : Private syscall or -ENOSYS if not allocated
  > 0xf07ff : SIGILL

Our compat code gets this wrong and ends up sending SIGILL in response
to all syscalls greater than NR_SYSCALLS which have a value greater
than 0x7ff in the bottom 16 bits.

Fix this by defining the end of the ARM private syscall region and
checking the syscall number against that directly. Update the comment
while we're at it.
