[PATCH v4 1/3] tools headers: Go back to include asm-generic/unistd.h for arm64

The header unistd.h is included under Arm64's uAPI folder (see
tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/), but it does not include its
dependent header unistd_64.h. The intention is for unistd_64.h to be
generated dynamically using scripts/Makefile.asm-headers.
However, this dynamic approach causes problems because the header is not
available early enough, even though it is widely included throughout
tools. Using the perf build as an example:
1) Feature detection: Perf first runs feature tests.
The BPF feature program test-bpf.c includes unistd.h. Since
unistd_64.h has not been generated yet, the program fails to build,
and the BPF feature ends up being disabled.
2) libperf build:
The libperf Makefile later generates unistd_64.h on the fly, so
libperf itself builds successfully.
3) Final perf build:
Although the perf binary can build successfully using the generated
header, we never get a chance to build BPF skeleton programs,
because BPF support was already disabled earlier.
Restore to include asm-generic/unistd.h for fixing the issue. This
aligns with most architectures (x86 is a special case that keeps
unistd_32.h/unistd_64.h for its particular syscall numbers) and ensures
the header is available from the start.
Fixes: 22f72088ffe6 ("tools headers: Update the syscall table with the kernel sources")
