This is not technically wrong, but I think a different approach
would be clearer: Instead of having a sys_lseek() that works
differently depending on the macros, why not define the low-level
helpers to match the kernel arguments like

static inline __attribute__((unused))
__kernel_loff_t sys_lseek(int fd, __kernel_loff_t offset, int whence)
{
#ifdef __NR__llseek
	__kernel_loff_t result;
	return my_syscall5(__NR__llseek, fd, offset >> 32, offset, &result,  whence) ?: result;
#else
        
#endif
}

static inline __attribute__((unused))
__kernel_off_t sys_lseek(int fd, __kernel_off_t offset, int whence)
{
#ifdef __NR_lseek
	return my_syscall3(__NR_lseek, fd, offset, whence);
#else
        return -ENOSYS;
#endif
}

And then do the selection inside of the actual lseek,
something like

static __attribute__((unused))
off_t lseek(int fd, off_t offset, int whence)
{
        off_t ret = -ENOSYS;

        if (BITS_PER_LONG == 32)
               ret = sys_llseek(fd, offset, whence);

        if (ret == -ENOSYS)
               ret = sys_lseek(fd, offset, whence);

        if (ret < 0) {
                SET_ERRNO(-ret);
                ret = -1;
        }
        return ret;
       
}

For the loff_t selection, there is no real need to handle the
fallback, so this could just be an if()/else to select 32-bit
or 64-bit, but for the time_t ones the fallback is required
for pre-5.6 kernels.
