Subject: [PATCH 5.4 05/68] um: Cleanup syscall_handler_t definition/cast, fix warning

From: David Gow <davidgow@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit f4f03f299a56ce4d73c5431e0327b3b6cb55ebb9 ]

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.

Warning:
