  syscall: fix syscall probe argument handling

Kernel commit a544d9a66bdf
("tracing: Have syscall trace events read user space string") (added in
6.19-rc1) causes special fields to be added to the tracepoint format
file for data strings that are faulted in.  We need to account for this
when determining the number of arguments for syscall tracepoints.

We introduce support for a valid_arg() callback function that providers
can implement to support skipping initial non-common fields and also to
stop processing fields as arguments.  The syscall provider uses this to
skip the __syscall_nr field, and to stop argument processing when the
first dynamic string field is found.
