[ Upstream commit 797002deed03491215a352ace891749b39741b69 ]
The inconsistencies in the systcall ABI between arm and arm-compat can can cause a failure in the syscall_restart test due to the logic attempting to work around the differences. The 'machine' field for an ARM64 device running in compat mode can report 'armv8l' or 'armv8b' which matches with the string 'arm' when only examining the first three characters of the string.
This change adds additional validation to the workaround logic to make sure we only take the arm path when running natively, not in arm-compat.
