Subject: [RFC][PATCH v4 1/2] tracing/syscalls: Rename a field 'nr' to '__syscall_nr' in format

Some syscalls tracepoint duplicated fields with the same name 'nr' i.e.

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_io_getevents/format
    name: sys_enter_io_getevents
    ID: 739
    format:
            field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0;  size:2; signed:0;
            field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2;  size:1; signed:0;
            field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
            field:int common_pid;offset:4;size:4;signed:1;
            field:int nr;                     offset:8;  size:4; signed:1;
            field:aio_context_t ctx_id;       offset:16; size:8; signed:0;
            field:long min_nr;                offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
            field:long nr;                    offset:32; size:8; signed:0;
            field:struct io_event * events;   offset:40; size:8; signed:0;
            field:struct timespec * timeout;  offset:48; size:8; signed:0;

            print fmt: "ctx_id: 0x%08lx, min_nr: 0x%08lx, nr: 0x%08lx,
                        events: 0x%08lx, timeout: 0x%08lx", ((unsigned long)(REC->ctx_id)),
                        ((unsigned long)(REC->min_nr)), ((unsigned long)(REC->nr)),
                        ((unsigned long)(REC->events)), ((unsigned long)(REC->timeout))

As above 'int nr;' and 'long nr;' fields have
duplicated name so problems are occurred in perf-script i.e.

    # perf record -e syscalls:*
    # perf script -g python
    # perf script -s perf-script.py
      File "perf-script.py", line 8694
        def syscalls__sys_enter_io_getevents(event_name, context, common_cpu,
    SyntaxError: duplicate argument 'nr' in function definition
    Error running python script perf-script.py

As above, problems about duplicated argument occurred.
Not only sys_enter_io_getevent() but also sys_enter_io_submit()
have relevevance to this problem.

So rename a field 'nr' to '__syscall_nr' for system call number
without renaming a member 'nr' of two structures 'syscall_trace_enter'
and 'syscall_trace_exit'.
