[PATCH 3/5] Consolidate off_t/off64_t syscall argument passing


From: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.com>

This patch add two new macros to use along with off_t and off64_t argument
syscalls.  The rationale for this change is:

1. Remove multiple implementations for the same syscall for different
   architectures (for instance, pread have 6 different implementations).

2. Also remove the requirement to use syscall wrappers for cancellable
   entrypoints.

The macro usage should be used along __ALIGNMENT_ARG to follow ABI constrains
for architecture where it applies.  For instance, pread can be rewritten as:

  return SYSCALL_CANCEL (pread, fd, buf, count,
                         __ALIGNMENT_ARG SYSCALL_LL (offset));

Another macro, SYSCALL_LL64, is provided for off64_t.

The changes itself are not currently used in any implementation, so no
code change is expected.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/sysdep.h (__NR__llseek): Define only
	if it is not already defined.
	(SYSCALL_LL): Define.
	(SYSCALL_LL64): Likewise.
