James Clark bfb713ea53 perf tools: Fix arm64 build by generating unistd_64.h
Since pulling in the kernel changes in commit 22f72088ff ("tools
headers: Update the syscall table with the kernel sources"), arm64 is
no longer using a generic syscall header and generates one from the
syscall table. Therefore we must also generate the syscall header for
arm64 before building Perf.

Add it as a dependency to libperf which uses one syscall number. Perf
uses more, but as libperf is a dependency of Perf it will be generated
for both.

Future platforms that need this will have to add their own syscall-y
targets in libperf manually. Unfortunately the arch specific files that
do this (e.g. arch/arm64/include/asm/Kbuild) can't easily be imported
into the Perf build. But Perf only needs a subset of the generated files
anyway, so redefining them is probably the correct thing to do.
