a) teach __MAP(num, m, &lt;list of type/name pairs&gt;) to take empty
list (with num being 0, of course)
b) fold types__... and args__... declaration and initialization into
SYSCALL_METADATA(num, ...), making their use conditional on num != 0.
That allows to use the SYSCALL_METADATA instead of its near-duplicate
in SYSCALL_DEFINE0.
c) make SYSCALL_METADATA expand to nothing in case if CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS
is not defined; that allows to make SYSCALL_DEFINE0 and SYSCALL_DEFINEx
definitions independent from CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS.
d) kill SYSCALL_DEFINE - no users left (SYSCALL_DEFINE[0-6] is, of course,
still alive and well).

just have the bugger take unsigned long and deal with SETVAL
case (when we use an int member in the union) explicitly.

All those guys have the same form - "take a list of type/name pairs,
apply some macro to each of them".  Abstract that part away, convert
all __SC_FOO##x(__VA_ARGS__) to __MAP(x,__SC_FOO,__VA_ARGS__).
