Patch: enabling getcpu on arm32

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 

run the following code on an arm-32 platform (in my case, a raspberry pi).

#include ....

int main () {
  printf("getcpu = %d\n", sched_getcpu());
  return 0;
}

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


I reached this situation while debugging a dotnet application.

The patch is attached. By just simply uncommenting the syscall on syswrap-arm-linux.c, it was possible to make it work and return the correct output.

Regards.
