Ok, looks like the backwards branch to the syscall dispatching logic from
the trace entry is busted. Can you try the patch below please?

I might also take a look at unifying the function prototypes for arm_syscall
and syscall_trace_enter, since it should help us remove some of the argument
shuffling in the trace path.
