Arnd, is this a good candidate for 6.7? Though old, the patch applies
cleanly on 6.6-rc4. I can re-send this one if you would prefer that.

commit 'be65de6b03aa ("fs: Remove dcookies support")' removed the
syscall definition for lookup_dcookie.  However, syscall tables still
point to the old sys_lookup_dcookie() definition. Update syscall tables
of all architectures to directly point to sys_ni_syscall() instead.

Does this seem like a valuable cleanup? If so, should it go through the
asm-generic tree?

The main motivation here is to make readers aware upfront (via the
syscall table itself) that no implementation exists for lookup_dcookie
instead of them searching for one and realizing the same. The syscall
tables do something similar for _sysctl().

Please let me know if this change seems unnecessary. I can drop the
annoying pings in that case.

Thanks,
