[PATCH v2 1/4] tools/nolibc: sys.h: add __syscall() and __sysret() helpers

[Zhangjin Wu]

most of the library routines share the same code model, let's add two
helpers to simplify the coding and shrink the code lines too.

One added for syscall return, one added for syscall call.

Thomas suggested to use inline function instead of macro for __sysret(),
and he also helped to simplify the __syscall() a lot.

Willy suggested to make __sysret() be always inline.
