RE: [PATCH] samples: bpf: fix tracex2 due to empty sys_write count argument

Currently from syscall entry, argument can't be fetched correctly as a
result of register cleanup.

    commit 6b8cf5cc9965 ("x86/entry/64/compat: Clear registers for compat syscalls, to reduce speculation attack surface")

For example in upper commit, registers are cleaned prior to syscall.
To be more specific, sys_write syscall has count size as a third argument.
But this can't be fetched from __x64_sys_enter/__s390x_sys_enter due to
register cleanup. (e.g. [x86] xorl %r8d, %r8d / [s390x] xgr %r7, %r7)

This commit fix this problem by modifying the trace event to ksys_write
instead of sys_write syscall entry.

    # Wrong example of 'write()' syscall argument fetching
    # ./tracex2
    ...
    pid 50909 cmd dd uid 0
           syscall write() stats
     byte_size       : count     distribution
       1 -> 1        : 4968837  |************************************* |

    # Successful example of 'write()' syscall argument fetching
    # (dd's write bytes at a time defaults to 512)
    # ./tracex2
    ...
    pid 3095 cmd dd uid 0
           syscall write() stats
     byte_size       : count     distribution
    ...
     256 -> 511      : 0        |                                      |
     512 -> 1023     : 4968844  |************************************* |
