[PATCH v4 01/12] tracing/syscalls: remove syscall_nr from syscall metadata

[Marcin Nowakowski]

Some architectures map multiple syscall numbers to a single syscall.
This meant that on those platforms, some system calls could not be
properly traced using syscall event tracing mechanism, as a different
number of a syscall was used for registration to the one used by
applications.
We can use syscall lookup together with the syscall metadata table
traversal to register for appropriate events instead. This slightly
increases the overhead during event (un)registration, but does not
impact the trace events themselves, which still use syscall numbers
directly.
