[CVE-2009-0029] Convert all system calls to return a long
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. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
