Our compiler folks who maintain this gcc version dug this up for
me. In the gcc sources there is no direct implementation of __lshrti3,
I was told it is somehow derived from __lshrdi3.

This signature matches with the gcc documentation
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Integer-library-routines.html),
however the gcc implementation of the function has 128-bit values as
input/output, so I guess to meet gcc's expectations the 'long long's
need to be changed to TItype.

I put it preemptively, since I know from
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/15/669 that the vDSO build is unhappy
about EXPORT_SYMBOL. Obviously we can also wait until a vDSO needs to
include this file.
