perf trace: Check and discard not only 'nr' but also '__syscall_nr'
Format fields of a syscall have the first variable '__syscall_nr' or 'nr' that mean the syscall number. But it isn't relevant here so drop it. 'nr' among fields of syscall was renamed '__syscall_nr'. So add exception handling to drop '__syscall_nr' and modify the comment for this excpetion handling.
