Please test this with 'perf trace', which this patch breaks, this patch
should make it understand this 3rd variation of the non common list of
fields in syscall tracepoints:

 		sc->args = sc->args->next;
 		--sc->nr_args;
 	}


----------------------

But then I wonder if it wouldn't be better to prefix this with double
underscores, making it "__syscall_nr" :-\
