Linus,
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.

tracing/syscalls: Ignore numbers outside NR_syscalls' range
ARM has some private syscalls (for example, set_tls(2)) which lie
outside the range of NR_syscalls. If any of these are called while
syscall tracing is being performed, out-of-bounds array access will
occur in the ftrace and perf sys_{enter,exit} handlers.

Fix this by ignoring out-of-NR_syscalls-bounds syscall numbers.
Commit cd0980fc8add "tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls"
added the check for less than zero, but it should have also checked
for greater than NR_syscalls.
