I think we should fix the is_32bit_task definitions instead so that
callers don't need this mess. I'd suggest something like:

#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
#define is_32bit_task() test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT)
#else
#define is_32bit_task() IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC32)
#endif

Are there actually any (correct) uses of is_32bit_task() outside of
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64?

There is at least stack_maxrandom_size()
Also brk_rnd() and do_signal()

I suspect most if not all could be changed to the generic
in_compat_syscall() that we use outside of architecture specific
code.
