Syscall tracing using kprobe is quite unstable. Since it uses the exact
name of the kernel function, the program might broke due to the rename
of a function. The problem can also be caused by a changes in the
arguments of the function to which the kprobe connects.
In this commit, ksyscall is used instead of kprobe. By using ksyscall,
libbpf will detect the appropriate kernel function name.
(e.g. sys_write -> __s390_sys_write). This eliminates the need to worry
about which wrapper function to attach in order to parse arguments.
In addition, ksyscall provides more fine method with attaching system
call, the coarse SYSCALL helper at trace_common.h can be removed.

Currently, the kprobe BPF program attachment method for bpf_load is
quite old. The implementation of bpf_load "directly" controls and
manages(create, delete) the kprobe events of DEBUGFS. On the other hand,
using using the libbpf automatically manages the kprobe event.
(under bpf_link interface)
By calling bpf_program__attach(_kprobe) in libbpf, the corresponding
kprobe is created and the BPF program will be attached to this kprobe.
To remove this, by simply invoking bpf_link__destroy will clean up the
event.
This commit refactors kprobe tracing programs (tracex{1~7}_user.c) with
libbpf using bpf_link interface and bpf_program__attach.
tracex2_kern.c, which tracks system calls (sys_*), has been modified to
append prefix depending on architecture.
