[PATCH 1/8] tracing: Use a global field list for all syscall exit events

[Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>]

All syscall exit events have the same fields.

The kernel size drops 2.5K:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
7018612 2034376 7251132 16304120         f8c7f8 vmlinux.o.orig
7018612 2031888 7251132 16301632         f8be40 vmlinux.o
