Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix irqs-off tag display in syscall tracing

All syscall tracing irqs-off tags are wrong, the syscall enter entry doesn't
disable irqs.

 [root@jovi tracing]#echo "syscalls:sys_enter_open" > set_event
 [root@jovi tracing]# cat trace
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 13/13   #P:2
 #
 #                              _-----=> irqs-off
 #                             / _----=> need-resched
 #                            | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
 #                            || / _--=> preempt-depth
 #                            ||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID   CPU#  ||||    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION

       irqbalance-513   [000] d... 56115.497008: sys_open(filename: 804e1bb, flags: 0, mode: 1b6)

The reason is syscall tracing doesn't record irq_flags into buffer.
The proper display is:

 [root@jovi tracing]#echo "syscalls:sys_enter_open" > set_event
 [root@jovi tracing]# cat trace
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 14/14   #P:2
 #

 #                             / _----=> need-resched
 #                            | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
 #                            || / _--=> preempt-depth
 #                            ||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID   CPU#  ||||    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |   ||||       |         |
