In ftrace_syscall_enter(),
    syscall_get_arguments(..., 0, n, ...)
        if (i == 0) { <handle ORIG_r0> ...; n--;}
        memcpy(..., n * sizeof(args[0]));
If 'number of arguments(n)' is zero and 'argument index(i)' is also zero in
syscall_get_arguments(), none of arguments should be copied by memcpy().
Otherwise 'n--' can be a big positive number and unexpected amount of data
will be copied. Tracing system calls which take no argument, say sync(void),
may hit this case and eventually make the system corrupted.
This patch fixes the issue both in syscall_get_arguments() and
syscall_set_arguments().

Please can you put this into the patch system, with a CC stable tag?
