x86/compat: Adjust in_compat_syscall() to generic code under !COMPAT
The result of in_compat_syscall() can be pictured as:
x86 platform:
---------------------------------------------------
| Arch\syscall | 64-bit | ia32 | x32 |
|-------------------------------------------------|
| x86_64 | false | true | true |
|-------------------------------------------------|
| i686 | | <true> | |
---------------------------------------------------
Other platforms:
-------------------------------------------
| Arch\syscall | 64-bit | compat |
|-----------------------------------------|
| 64-bit | false | true |
|-----------------------------------------|
| 32-bit(?) | | <false> |
-------------------------------------------
As seen, the result of in_compat_syscall() on generic 32-bit platform
differs from i686.
There is no reason for in_compat_syscall() == true on native i686. It also
easy to misread code if the result on native 32-bit platform differs
between arches.
Because of that non arch-specific code has many places with:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) && in_compat_syscall())
in different variations.
It looks-like the only non-x86 code which uses in_compat_syscall() not
under CONFIG_COMPAT guard is in amd/amdkfd. But according to the commit
a18069c132cb ("amdkfd: Disable support for 32-bit user processes"), it
actually should be disabled on native i686.
Rename in_compat_syscall() to in_32bit_syscall() for x86-specific code
and make in_compat_syscall() false under !CONFIG_COMPAT.
A follow on patch will clean up generic users which were forced to check
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) with in_compat_syscall().
