Subject: arm64: kernel/sys.c - silence initialization warnings.

Building arch/arm64/kernel/sys.o with W=1 throws over 300 warnings:

/usr/src/linux-next/arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c:56:40: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
   56 | #define __SYSCALL(nr, sym)      [nr] = __arm64_##sym,
      |                                        ^~~~~~~~
/usr/src/linux-next/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h:29:37: note: in expansion of macro '__SYSCALL'
   29 | #define __SC_COMP(_nr, _sys, _comp) __SYSCALL(_nr, _sys)
      |                                     ^~~~~~~~~
/usr/src/linux-next/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h:34:1: note: in expansion of macro '__SC_COMP'
   34 | __SC_COMP(__NR_io_setup, sys_io_setup, compat_sys_io_setup)
      | ^~~~~~~~~

We know that's pretty much the file's purpose in life, so tell the
build system to not remind us.  This makes the 1 other warning a
lot more noticeable.
