Convert all system calls to return a long
commit 2ed7c03ec17779afb4fcfa3b8c61df61bd4879ba upstream. Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all converted types should have the same size anyway. With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't matter since the system call doesn't return.
