[PATCH v4 2/2] perf trace: Check and discard not only 'nr' but also '__syscall_nr'

From: Taeung Song
Date: Sat Feb 27 2016 - 11:43:58 EST


Format fields of a syscall have the first variable
'__syscall_nr' or 'nr' that mean the syscall number.
But it isn't relevant here so drop it.

'nr' among fields of syscall was renamed '__syscall_nr'.
So add exception handling to drop '__syscall_nr' and
modify the comment for this excpetion handling.
