When using "sort -nu", arm64 syscalls were lost. That is, the io_setup syscall (number 0) and all but one (typically ftruncate; 64) of the syscalls that are defined symbolically (like "#define __NR_ftruncate __NR3264_ftruncate") at the point where "sort" is applied.
This creation-of-syscalls.c-scheme is, judging from comments, copy-pasted from powerpc, and worked there because at the time, its tools/arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h had *literals*, like "#define __NR_ftruncate 93". With sort being numeric and the non-numeric key effectively evaluating to 0, the sort option "-u" means these "duplicates" are removed. There's no need to remove syscall lines with duplicate numbers for arm64 because there are none, so let's fix that by just losing the "-u". Having the table numerically sorted on syscall-number for the rest of the syscalls looks nice, so keep the "-n".
