perf trace: Consider syscall aliases too

When trying to trace the 'umount' syscall on x86_64 I noticed that it
was failing:

  # trace -e umount umount /mnt
  event syntax error: 'umount'
                       \___ parser error
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
      or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  #

This is because in the x86-64 we have it just as 'umount2':

  $ grep umount arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
  166 common umount2 __x64_sys_umount
  $

So if the syscall name fails, try fallbacking to looking at the aliases
we have in the syscall_fmts table to then re-lookup, now:

  # trace -e umount umount -f /mnt
  umount: /mnt: not mounted.
     1.759 ( 0.004 ms): umount/18365 umount2(name: 0x55fbfcbc4480, flags: 1) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
  #

Time to beautify the flags arg :-)
