 The existing code already checks TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE. I'd rather you added
 this new code when it's actually nedded (e.g. when adding audit on top). 
* This patch is required only if you really merge my audit and/or ftrace patch.
* Putting these changes in audit patch would impose an extra (unnecessary) dependency on
ftrace patch.
* Putting them both in audit and ftrace patch would cause a conflict when applying both
patches.
Even so, since I don't bother you on this minor issue, I will follow your comment and
make changes on:
* arm64: make a single hook to syscall_trace() for all syscall features
* arm64: Add audit support
* arm64: Add ftrace support
