syscall_regfunc() ignores the kernel thread because "it has
no effect", see cc3b13c1 "Don't trace kernel thread syscalls".
However, this means that a user-space task spawned by
call_usermodehelper() won't report the system calls if
kernel_execve() is called when sys_tracepoint_refcount != 0.
Remove this check. Hopefully the unnecessary report from
ret_from_fork path mentioned by cc3b13c1 is fine. In fact
"this is the only case" is not true. Say, kernel_execve()
itself does "int 80" on X86_32. Hopefully fine too.
