Subject: [RFC v2 PATCH 3/7] x86/syscall: unconditionally prototype {ia32,x32}_sys_call_table[]

From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@...or.com>

Even if these APIs are disabled, and the arrays therefore do not
exist, having the prototypes allows us to use IS_ENABLED() rather than
using #ifdefs.

If something ends up trying to actually *use* these arrays a linker
error will ensue.
