__NR_syscalls macro holds the number of system call exist in this
architecture. This macro is currently the part of asm/unistd.h file.
We have change the value of __NR_syscalls, 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 number of system call information. So we have
two option to update __NR_syscalls value.

1. Update __NR_syscalls in asm/unistd.h manually by counting the
   no.of system calls. No need to update __NR_syscalls until
   we either add a new system call or delete an existing system
   call.

2. We can keep this feature it above mentioned script, that'll
   count the number of syscalls and keep it in a generated file.
   In this case we don't need to explicitly update __NR_syscalls
   in asm/unistd.h file.

The 2nd option will be the recommended one. For that, I moved the
__NR_syscalls macro from asm/unistd.h to uapi/asm/unistd.h. 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.
