In the function trace__syscall_info(), it explicitly checks verbose level and print out log with fprintf(). Actually, we can use pr_debug() to do the same thing for debug logging. This patch uses pr_debug() instead of fprintf() for debug logging; it includes a minor fixing for 'space before tab in indent', which dismisses git warning when apply it.
