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.
