Removing the syscall fallback looks wrong, and broke access to
per-processes clocks. With this change a few glibc tests now fail.

This can be reproduced by the simple code below:

| #include <errno.h>
| #include <stdio.h>
| #include <string.h>
| #include <sys/types.h>
| #include <time.h>
| #include <unistd.h>
| 
| int main()
| {
|     struct timespec res;
|     clockid_t ci;
|     int e;
|
|     e = clock_getcpuclockid(getpid(), &ci);
|     if (e) {
|         printf("clock_getcpuclockid returned %d\n", e);
|         return e;
|     }
|     e = clock_getres (ci, &res);
|     printf("clock_getres returned %d\n", e);
|     if (e) {
|         printf("  errno: %d, %s\n", errno, strerror(errno));
|     }
|
|     return e;
| }

Without this patch or with -m64, it returns:

| clock_getres returned 0

With this patch with -m32 it returns:

| clock_getres returned -1
|   errno: 22, Invalid argument
