We can, at least for x86_64 for instance where it uses another indirection
for INTERNAL_SYSCALL.  However, something similar fails for i386, where
macro substitution for INTERNAL_SYSCALL will try string concatenation and
thus mess with intended behaviour.  Also, _SYSCALL_NARGS macro would be
required to be different to take in consideration the 'err' argument
required for INTERNAL syscall (something I noted I coded wrong).

I think calling the {INLINE,INTERNAL}_SYSCALL directly would be the safer 
and agnostic approach to avoid issues on how they are actually implemented 
by each port.

I tested the following patch with a build for practically all current
supported ports (aarch64, alpha, armeabi, armeaihf, hppa, ia64, i386, m68k,
microblaze, mips{32,64,n64}, nios2, powerpc{32,64,64le}, s390{-32,-64}, sh4,
sparc{64}, tile{pro,x64}, x86_64, and x32) and saw no build issues.  I also
checked on x86_64 and i386.  To actually check INTERNAL_SYSCALL_CALL macro
work I changed sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pthread_setaffinity.c to use it.

For below patch I changed it to the INLINE_SYSCALL macros would follow 
INLINE name and fixed the __INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NARGS argument selection
value.

I haven't checked all of the, but at least x86_64, i386, aarch64, and powerpc64le
do not change.  I presume it is ok to push upstream, correct?
