The sys_exit trace event takes a single return value for the system
call, which MIPS passes the value of the $v0 (result) register, however
MIPS returns positive error codes in $v0 with $a3 specifying that $v0
contains an error code. As a result erroring system calls are traced
returning positive error numbers that can't always be distinguished from
success.
Use regs_return_value() to negate the error code if $a3 is set.
