Some of the syscall definitions have moved due to the original source file being moved into a sub-directory. Update the file path names to reflect that. A couple of syscalls such as lookup_dcookie() and nfsservctl() don't have a syscall definition anymore. Clear the filename and leave the original subsystem name intact for reference.

Thanks for going through these!
Arguably, having filenames in comments might not be the best idea. If the intention is to make it easier to find a syscall definition, it is probably faster to just use 'git grep SYSCALL_DEFINE | grep <syscall_name>'. Please let me know if it would be preferable to just get rid of these comments all together.
It's probably not worth trying to keep the comments in sync, I'd be in
favor of just removing them all.
