tracing: Support for syscall events raw records in perfcounters



This bring the support for raw syscall events in perfcounters.
The arguments or exit value are saved as a raw sample using
the PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in a perf counter.

Example (for now you must explicitly set the PERF_SAMPLE_RAW flag
in perf record):

perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -f -F 1 -a
perf report -D

	0x2cbb8 [0x50]: event: 9
