The file is currently unused and replaced with scripts/syscall.tbl,
my plan was to remove the old file in the 6.12 syscall cleanups.

The number in scripts/syscall.tbl is now 467, so its users (arc,
arm64, csky, hegagon, loongarch, nios2 openrisc and riscv) have
the same number as on x86.
However, the corresponding change did not make it into the
other syscall.tbl files (alpha, arm, m68k, microblaze, parisc,
powerpc, s390, sh, sparc and xtensa), which is rather
inconsistent.

I think we should definitely make all non-x86 architectures
behave the same way, either with or without an entry for
uretprobe. There are three ways do do this:

a) remove it from both include/uapi/asm/unistd.h and
   scripts/syscall.tbl, and change the x86-64 system call
   to a private number such as 335

b) remove it from both include/uapi/asm/unistd.h and
   scripts/syscall.tbl, but leave the number at 467

c) add the syscall to all other architectures for
   consistency, but continue to have it return -ENOSYS.
