    tracing: Define NR_syscalls for x86_64 · a5a2f8e2

    Express the available number of syscalls in a standard way by defining
    NR_syscalls.
    
    The common way to define it is to place its definition in asm/unistd.h
    However, the number of syscalls is defined using __NR_syscall_max in
    x86-64 after building a dynamic header file "asm-offsets.h"
    
    The source file that generates this header, asm-offsets-64.c includes
    unistd.h, then if we want to express NR_syscalls from __NR_syscall_max
    in unistd.h only after generating the dynamic header file, we need a
    watchguard.
    
    If unistd.h is included from asm-offsets-64.c, then we are generating
    asm-offset.h which defines __NR_syscall_max. At this time, we don't
    want to (we can't) define NR_syscalls, then we do nothing.
    Otherwise we define NR_syscalls because we know asm-offsets.h has
    been generated.
