tracing: Unify arch_syscall_addr() implementations
Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a
default version in common code and move the one piece that differs (the
syscall table) to asm/syscall.h. New arch ports don't have to waste
time copying & pasting this simple function.
The s390/sparc versions need to be different, so document why.
