Subject: s390/syscalls: Fix out of bounds arguments access

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

commit c46fc0424ced3fb71208e72bd597d91b9169a781 upstream.

Zorro reported following crash while having enabled
syscall tracing (CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS):

  Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual ...
  Oops: 0011 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

  SNIP

  Call Trace:

  ---[ end trace 8c795f86b1b3f7b9 ]---

The crash happens in syscall_get_arguments function for
syscalls with zero arguments, that will try to access
first argument (args[0]) in event entry, but it's not
allocated.

Bail out of there are no arguments.
