tracing: Use xarray for syscall trace events

Currently, a lot of memory is wasted for architectures like MIPS when
init_ftrace_syscalls() allocates the array for syscalls using kcalloc.
This is because syscalls numbers start from 4000, 5000 or 6000 and
array elements up to that point are unused.
Fix this by using a data structure more suited to storing sparsely
populated arrays. The XARRAY data structure, implemented using radix
trees, is much more memory efficient for storing the syscalls in
question.

An architecture should select this if its syscall numbering is sparse
to save space. For example, MIPS architecture has a syscall array with
entries at 4000, 5000 and 6000 locations. This option turns on syscall
related optimizations for a given architecture.
