trace__init_bpf_map_syscall_args() invokes trace__syscall_info() to
retrieve system calls information, it always passes NULL for 'evsel'
argument; when id is an invalid value then the logging will try to
output event name, this triggers NULL pointer dereference.
This patch directly uses string "unknown" for event name when 'evsel'
is NULL pointer.
