perf trace: Do not print raw args list for syscalls with no args

The test to check if the arg format had been read from the
syscall:sys_enter_name/format file was looking at the list of non-commom
fields, and if that is empty, it would think it had failed to read it,
because it doesn't exist, for instance, for the clone() syscall.

So instead before dumping the raw syscall args list check
IS_ERR(sc->tp_format), if that is true, then an attempt was made to read
the format file and failed, in which case dump the raw arg list values.
