tracing: Define NR_syscalls for x86_64

Express the available number of syscalls in a standard way by defining
NR_syscalls.

The common way to define it is to place its definition in asm/unistd.h
However, the number of syscalls is defined using __NR_syscall_max in
x86-64 after building a dynamic header file "asm-offsets.h"

The source file that generates this header, asm-offsets-64.c includes
unistd.h, then if we want to express NR_syscalls from __NR_syscall_max
in unistd.h only after generating the dynamic header file, we need a
watchguard.

If unistd.h is included from asm-offsets-64.c, then we are generating
asm-offset.h which defines __NR_syscall_max. At this time, we don't
want to (we can't) define NR_syscalls, then we do nothing.
Otherwise we define NR_syscalls because we know asm-offsets.h has
been generated.
