[PATCH 38/40] trace syscalls: Remove redundant test for unmapped compat syscalls

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie at au1.ibm.com>

Since the ftrace event initialisation routine now verifies that either
the syscall number or the compat syscall number is valid and will not
create events for unmapped syscalls, it is unnecessary to explicitly
search for them, so remove it.
