Kernel: Add syscall performance event type

This allows tracing the syscalls made by a thread through the kernel's
performance event framework, which is similar in principle to strace.

Currently, this merely logs a stack backtrace to the current thread's
performance event buffer whenever a syscall is made, if profiling is
enabled. Future improvements could include tracing the arguments and
the return value, for example.
