You can mention ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER here for documentation
purposes. I like the previous approach because it clearly shows which
architectures deviate from "common" behavior (whatever "common" we
chose as the default). With __BPF_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER I'll go and
start grepping what else depends on that, etc. Also,
ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER can change over time, so it depends on kernel
version just as much as architecture (which with CO-RE we should be
able to handle transparently, btw).

Anyways, the previous one looks cleaner and easier to follow to me,
please use the previous version.
