After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it
seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of
today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that
there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with
syscall_get_arguments().

There are two places listed below where I'd prefer to see more readable
equivalents, but feel free to leave it to respective arch maintainers.

A shorter and slightly more readable equivalent of the last memcpy is

	memcpy(&regs->uregs[1], args, 5 * sizeof(args[0]));
