tools headers: Go back to include asm-generic/unistd.h for arm64
The header unistd.h is included under Arm64's uAPI folder (see tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/), but it does not include its dependent header unistd_64.h. The intention is for unistd_64.h to be generated dynamically using scripts/Makefile.asm-headers. However, this dynamic approach causes problems because the header is not available early enough, even though it is widely included throughout tools. Using the perf build as an example: 1) Feature detection: Perf first runs feature tests. The BPF feature program test-bpf.c includes unistd.h. Since unistd_64.h has not been generated yet, the program fails to build, and the BPF feature ends up being disabled. 2) libperf build: The libperf Makefile later generates unistd_64.h on the fly, so libperf itself builds successfully. 3) Final perf build: Although the perf binary can build successfully using the generated header, we never get a chance to build BPF skeleton programs, because BPF support was already disabled earlier. Restore to include asm-generic/unistd.h for fixing the issue. This aligns with most architectures (x86 is a special case that keeps unistd_32.h/unistd_64.h for its particular syscall numbers) and ensures the header is available from the start.
