    xtensa: add __NR_syscalls along with __NR_syscall_count · a86067f5

    __NR_syscall_count macro holds the number of system call
    exist in xtensa architecture. We have to change the value
    of __NR_syscall_count, if we add or delete a system call.
    
    One of the patch in this patch series has a script which
    will generate a uapi header based on syscall.tbl file.
    The syscall.tbl file contains the total number of system
    calls information. So we have two option to update __NR-
    _syscall_count value.
    
    1. Update __NR_syscall_count in asm/unistd.h manually by
       counting the no.of system calls. No need to update __NR-
       _syscall_count until we either add a new system call or
       delete existing system call.
    
    2. We can keep this feature it above mentioned script,
       that will count the number of syscalls and keep it in
       a generated file. In this case we don't need to expli-
       citly update __NR_syscall_count in asm/unistd.h file.
    
    The 2nd option will be the recommended one. For that, I
    added the __NR_syscalls macro in uapi/asm/unistd.h.
    The macro __NR_syscalls also added for making the name
    convention same across all architecture. While __NR_syscalls
    isn't strictly part of the uapi, having it as part of the
    generated header to simplifies the implementation. We also
    need to enclose this macro with #ifdef __KERNEL__ to avoid
    side effects.
