Subject: [PATCH v2] scripts/checksyscalls.sh: Add usage message, fix -Wno-error

From: Ritvik Gupta <ritvikfoss@...il.com>

Currently 'scripts/checksyscalls.sh' does not
provide guidance when executed without specifying
a compiler, instead it attempts to execute
'-Wno-error' parameter as a command,
resulting in 'Wno-error: Command not found' error.

This patch adds a usage message that is displayed
when no compiler is provided as parameter to
improve clarity.

Signed-off-by: Ritvik Gupta <ritvikfoss@...il.com>

Changes in v2:
    - Make the script posix compliant
    - Fixed formatting

Thanks for reviewing!
