perf trace: Validate syscall id before growing syscall table
In some cases the ID for a syscall read thru the raw_syscalls tracepoint is bogus, still needs to be investigated why, but to make the tool more robust first try to resolve the ID to a name via libaudit and if it fails, don't grow the table.
