[PATCH] um: Cleanup syscall_handler_t definition/cast, fix warning

From: David Gow
Date: Wed Feb 09 2022 - 22:44:15 EST


The syscall_handler_t type for x86_64 was defined as 'long (*)(void)',
but always cast to 'long (*)(long, long, long, long, long, long)' before
use. This now triggers a warning (see below).

Define syscall_handler_t as the latter instead, and remove the cast.
This simplifies the code, and fixes the warning.

I couldn't find a reason for the two conflicting function types here,
but it's possible I'm missing one. At the very least, this change didn't
seem to break anything on my system.
