[PATCH 2/6] trace syscalls: Convert redundant syscall_nr checks into WARN_ON

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

With the ftrace events now checking if the syscall_nr is valid upon
initialisation it should no longer be possible to register or unregister
a syscall event without a valid syscall_nr since they should not be
created. This adds a WARN_ON_ONCE in the register and unregister
functions to locate potential regressions in the future.
