I was trying to figure out why this warning was happening, because I
was pretty sure I had properly wired up the getrandom syscall.  It
looks like the problem was a stale unistd_32.h.

At some point, apprently the generated unistd.h file migrated from:

arch/x86/include/generated/asm/unistd_32.h

to

arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h

The stale unistd_32.h which was getting picked up by the checksyscalls
script, and this was causing all of these warnings --- both in my
tree, and apparently, the kbuild test robot's tree.  It looks like
after the migration, the Makefiles aren't deleting the old generated
unistd.h file automatically.  I tried to go through the Makefiles,
quickly got a headache, and decided it was easier to report the
problem than to send a patch :-P

There's a simple workaround anyway.  Once I deleted the old, stale,
generated unistd_32.h file, and reran the build, all of the
checksyscall warnings went away.
