Fix: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args (v5.1)

    syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

    At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
    function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
    written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
    the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
    all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
    0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
    different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
    arguments of a system call.

    This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
    ftrace and perf.
