It also expands directly to if(0) or if(1) for the !COMPAT cases. I am
not sure how it would work with the intermediate variable.

There was more complex change initially but after some additional
cleanups removing the variable is the only part left.

is_32bit_task() expands to 0 or 1 constant unless CONFIG_COMPAT is set.
That's why the test needs replacing here.

Unsetting _TIF_32BIT might also be feasible but it is not necessary.
