Nothing should call the syscall wrapper alias (SyS_foo) directly.
It is only used to force the system call to sign extend its arguments.
See commit 1a94bc34768e "System call wrapper infrastructure".

By declaring it static, we can also remove the protoype that was
added by commit f9597f24c089 "syscalls.h: add forward declarations for
inplace syscall wrappers", that fixed the warnings that were generated
because the call was not static.
