Subject: [PATCH] x86/syscalls: shrink entry/syscall_32.i via IWYU

This diff uses an open source tool include-what-you-use (IWYU) to modify
the include list, changing indirect includes to direct includes. IWYU is
implemented using the IWYUScripts github repository which is a tool that
is currently undergoing development. These changes seek to improve build
times.

This change to entry/syscall_32.c resulted in a preprocessed size of
entry/syscall_32.i from 64002 lines to 47986 lines (-25%) for the x86
defconfig.
