[PATCH] perf arm64: Fix mksyscalltbl, don't lose syscalls due to sort -nu

When using "sort -nu", arm64 syscalls were lost. That is, the
io_setup syscall (number 0) and all but one (typically
ftruncate; 64) of the syscalls that are defined symbolically
(like "#define __NR_ftruncate __NR3264_ftruncate") at the point
where "sort" is applied.
This creation-of-syscalls.c-scheme is, judging from comments,
copy-pasted from powerpc, and worked there because at the time,
its tools/arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h had *literals*,
like "#define __NR_ftruncate 93".
With sort being numeric and the non-numeric key effectively
evaluating to 0, the sort option "-u" means these "duplicates"
are removed. There's no need to remove syscall lines with
duplicate numbers for arm64 because there are none, so let's fix
that by just losing the "-u". Having the table numerically
sorted on syscall-number for the rest of the syscalls looks
nice, so keep the "-n".
