 ARM has system calls outside the NR_syscalls range, and the generic
 tracing system does not support that and without checks, it can cause
 an oops to be reported.
 
 Rabin Vincent added checks in the return code on syscall events to make
 sure that the system call number is within the range that tracing
 knows about, and if not, simply ignores the system call.
 
 The system call tracing infrastructure needs to be rewritten to handle these
 cases better, but for now, to keep from oopsing, this patch will do.
