[PATCH 0/2] arch: Sync all syscall tables with 2 newly added system calls

6.6-rc1 has added support for 2 new system calls:
[1] fchmodat2()
[2] x86-specific map_shadow_stack()

This series mainly synchronizes the syscall tables arcoss the core kernel and
tools to reflect the recent updates.

For fchmodat2(), it fixes the missing entries in the tools directory.

For map_shadow_stack(), it reserves the syscall across the board. Since
map_shadow_stack() is x86 specific for now, it is marked as a conditional
syscall in sys_ni.c. Adding it to the syscall tables of other architectures is
harmless and would return ENOSYS when exercised.

Reserving arch-specific syscall numbers in the tables of all architectures is
good practice and would help avoid future conflicts.
