[PATCH v2 1/4] tools/nolibc: sys.h: add __syscall() and __sysret() helpers

[Zhangjin Wu]

Sorry, the run-user/run targets in tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/Makefile
complains about the above line, seems it doesn't support the 'inline' keyword
and requires '__inline__'.

Just checked my own test script and the run-user / run targets, the only
difference is it forcely uses -std=c89, do we need to align with the kernel
Makefile and use -std=gnu11 instead?

Whatever, I need to change this line to align with the other codes, use
__inline__ as we have used in tools/include/nolibc/stdlib.h:

Best regards,
