perf trace: Do not require --no-syscalls to suppress strace like output
So far the --syscalls option was the default, requiring explicit --no-syscalls when wanting to process just some other event, invert that and assume it only when no other event was specified, allowing its explicit enablement when wanting to see all syscalls together with some other event: E.g: The existing default is maintained for a single workload: # perf trace sleep 1 <SNIP> 0.264 ( 0.003 ms): sleep/12762 mmap(len: 113045344, prot: READ, flags: PRIVATE, fd: 3) = 0x7f62cbf04000 0.271 ( 0.001 ms): sleep/12762 close(fd: 3) = 0 0.295 (1000.130 ms): sleep/12762 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffd15194fd0) = 0 1000.469 ( 0.006 ms): sleep/12762 close(fd: 1) = 0 1000.480 ( 0.004 ms): sleep/12762 close(fd: 2) = 0 1000.502 ( ): sleep/12762 exit_group() # For a pid: # pidof ssh 7826 3961 3226 2628 2493 # perf trace -p 3961 ?

When some event is specified, then --no-syscalls doesn't need to be specified: # perf trace -e tcp:tcp_probe ssh localhost 0.000 tcp:tcp_probe:src=[::1]:22 dest=[::1]:39074 mark=0 length=53 snd_nxt=0xb67ce8f7 snd_una=0xb67ce8f7 snd_cwnd=10 ssthresh=2147483647 snd_wnd=43776 srtt=18 rcv_wnd=43690 0.010 tcp:tcp_probe:src=[::1]:39074 dest=[::1]:22 mark=0 length=32 snd_nxt=0xa8f9ef38 snd_una=0xa8f9ef23 snd_cwnd=10 ssthresh=2147483647 snd_wnd=43690 srtt=31 rcv_wnd=43776 4.525 tcp:tcp_probe:src=[::1]:22 dest=[::1]:39074 mark=0 length=1240 snd_nxt=0xb67ce90c snd_una=0xb67ce90c snd_cwnd=10 ssthresh=2147483647 snd_wnd=43776 srtt=18 rcv_wnd=43776 7.242 tcp:tcp_probe:src=[::1]:22 dest=[::1]:39074 mark=0 length=80 snd_nxt=0xb67ced44 snd_una=0xb67ce90c snd_cwnd=10 ssthresh=2147483647 snd_wnd=43776 srtt=18 rcv_wnd=174720 The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established.
