Subject: [PATCH v4 03/12] tracing/syscalls: drop arch_syscall_match_sym_name

arch_syscall_match_sym_name has been previously added to allow arch to
override syscall_match_sym_name method, but only ppc arch implements it
and the only difference made is that a prefix is longer. This can be
simplified by using a #define specifying the prefix length difference
for a given arch.
Next commit will make syscall_match_sym_name implementation a bit
larger, so clean it up now to avoid further patching arch code whenever
the core method changes.

 - If the system call table on this arch is more complicated than a simple array
   of addresses of the system calls, implement an arch_syscall_addr to return
   the address of a given system call.
-- If the symbol names of the system calls do not match the function names on
-  this arch, define ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_MATCH_SYM_NAME in asm/ftrace.h and
-  implement arch_syscall_match_sym_name with the appropriate logic to return
-  true if the function name corresponds with the symbol name.
 - Tag this arch as HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS.
