The patch looks good to me.

Note that unlike the referenced 82b355d161c9 patch, this is no
longer needed for correctness, since modern kernels generate
the asm/unistd.h from the syscall.tbl based on 
arch/loongarch/kernel/Makefile.syscalls, which leaves out the
references to newstat.

The patch is still useful of course, but only to slightly reduce
the size of the kernel image by eliminating dead code.
