I'm not convinced we need these wrappers for ILP32. They've been
introduced on arch/arm many years ago by commit Fixes: 713c481519f1
([ARM] 3108/2: old ABI compat: statfs64 and fstatfs64) to deal with user
space passing a size of 88 (the EABI size of struct compat_statfs64
without the packing and alignment attribute). Since that commit, the
sizeof(struct compat_statfs64) is 84 already. This should be the case
with the new ILP32 exported headers (no backwards compatibility), so
user space should never pass 88 as size. Therefore we could call
compat_sys_(f)statfs64 directly without wrappers.
