This change assumes greg_t is not used outside of libc.
In glibc it is usually used for defining gregset_t, but
on aarch64 elf_greg_t is used for that, greg_t is not
used anywhere (so it is meant to be a cosmetic fix).
If greg_t is used outside of libc, then this is an ABI
change, but
typedef int greg_t;
is not a useful definition on aarch64.
Some targets (powerpc) don't define greg_t at all so
removing it should be a valid fix too. It seems the
signedness of greg_t varies between targets so i settled
for using elf_greg_t (unsigned long) for the typedef to
be consistent with the members of gregset_t.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/sys/ucontext.h (greg_t): Change the
definition to elf_greg_t.
