rpl is passed as a pointer to ethtool_cmis_module_poll(), so the correct size of rpl is sizeof(*rpl) which should be just 1 byte.

When setting the funcgraph-args option when function graph tracer is net
enabled, it incorrectly enables it. Worse, it unregisters itself when it
was never registered. Then when it gets enabled again, it will register
itself a second time causing a WARNing.

Notice the "tracer: nop" at the top there. The current tracer is the "nop"
tracer, but the content is obviously the function graph tracer.
Enabling function graph tracing will cause it to register again and
trigger a warning in the accounting:

-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

Have the setting of the funcgraph-args check if function_graph tracer is
the current tracer of the instance, and if not, do nothing, as there's
nothing to do (the option is checked when function_graph tracing starts).

Do not use memcpy() to extract syscall arguments from struct pt_regs but
rather just perform direct assignments.
Update syscall_set_arguments() too to keep syscall_get_arguments() and
syscall_set_arguments() in sync.
With Generic Entry patch[1] and turn on audit, the performance benchmarks
from perf bench basic syscall on kunpeng920 gives roughly a 1% performance
uplift.
| Metric | W/O this patch | With this patch | Change |
| ---------- | -------------- | --------------- | --------- |
| Total time | 2.241 [sec] | 2.211 [sec] | ↓1.36% |
| usecs/op | 0.224157 | 0.221146 | ↓1.36% |
| ops/sec | 4,461,157 | 4,501,409 | ↑0.9% |
Disassembly shows that using direct assignment causes
syscall_set_arguments() to be inlined and cuts the instruction count by
five or six compared to memcpy(). Because __audit_syscall_entry() only
uses four syscall arguments, the compiler has also elided the copy of
regs->regs[4] and regs->regs[5].
Before:
<syscall_get_arguments.constprop.0>:

f9408a81 ldr x1, [x20, #272]
9401c4ba bl ffff800080215ca8 <__audit_syscall_entry>
This also aligns the implementation with x86 and RISC-V.
