Kernel: Fix the gettid syscall
syscall_handler was not actually updating the value in regs->eax, so the gettid() was always returning 85: the value of regs->eax was not actually updated, and it remained the one from Userland (the value of SC_gettid). The syscall_handler was modified to actually get a pointer to RegisterState, so any changes to it will actually be saved. NOTE: This was actually more of a compiler optimization: On the SC_gettid flow, we saved in regs.eax the return value of sys$gettid(), but the compiler discarded it, since it followed a return. On a normal flow, the value of regs.eax was reused in tracer->did_syscall, so the compiler actually updated the value.
