We do have those very ugly SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros, but I'm not
seeing _anything_ that would be odd about the listmount case.

And the "__se_sys" thing in particular is just a fairly trivial wrapper.

It does use that asmlinkage_protect() thing, and it is unquestionably
horrendously ugly (staring too long at <linux/syscalls.h> has been
known to cause madness and despair), but we do that for *every* single
system call and I don't see why the new listmount entry would be
different.
