Impact: fix syscall tracer enable/disable race
The current thread flag toggling is racy as shown in the following
scenario:
- task A is the last user of syscall tracing, it releases the
TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks
- at the same time task B start syscall tracing. refcount == 0 so
it sets up TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks.
The effect of the mixup is unpredictable.
So this fix adds a mutex on {start,stop}_syscall_tracing().

Impact: fix 'stuck' syscall tracer
The syscall tracer uses a refcounter to enable several users
simultaneously.
But the refcounter did not behave correctly and always restored
its value to 0 after calling start_syscall_tracing(). Therefore,
stop_syscall_tracing() couldn't release correctly the tasks from
tracing.
Also the tracer forgot to reset the buffer when it is released.
Drop the pointless refcount decrement on start_syscall_tracing()
and reset the buffer when we release the tracer.
This fixes two reported issue:
- when we switch from syscall tracer to another tracer, syscall
tracing continued.
- incorrect use of the refcount.

Impact: new feature
This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is
currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing
engines can use it. (They just have to play with
{start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks
unless they want to override them.)
The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal
some metadata informations:
- syscall name, param types, param names, number of params
The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition
because we don't know if its prototype is available in the
namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to
build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its
metadata struct.
The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names
and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is
a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.

[ simplified it to a trace_printk() for now. ]
