[PATCH bpf-next v2 2/4] libbpf: Access first syscall argument with CO-RE direct read on arm64

From: Pu Lehui <pulehui at huawei.com>

Currently PT_REGS_PARM1 SYSCALL(x) is consistent with PT_REGS_PARM1_CORE
SYSCALL(x), which will introduce the overhead of BPF_CORE_READ(), taking
into account the read pt_regs comes directly from the context, let's use
CO-RE direct read to access the first system call argument.
