[PATCH v6 1/2] tools/nolibc: let sys_brk, sys_mmap and sys_mmap2 return long

[Zhangjin Wu <falcon@tinylab.org>]

Firstly, since the sys_* functions are internally used by our library
routines, it is ok to let them preserve the 'long' return type of
my_syscall<N> macros, that means not necessary to return pointer like
their library routines do.

Secondly, in order to avoid the size inflating issues introduced by the
sign extension, it is better to let __sysret() only accept integer input
types, to do so, we must let all of the sys_* functions not return
pointers.

There are only three sys_* functions which return pointer, let's make
them return 'long' instead of pointer.
