Subject: [PATCH] drm/radeon: Try to init amdkfd only if 64 bit kernel

amdkfd driver can be compiled only in 64-bit kernel. Therefore, there is no
point in trying to initialize amdkfd in 32-bit kernel.

In addition, in case of specific configuration of 32-bit kernel, no modules and
random kernel base, the symbol_request function doesn't work as expected - It
doesn't return NULL if the symbol doesn't exists. That makes the kernel panic.
Therefore, the as amdkfd doesn't compile in 32-bit kernel, the best way is just
to return false immediately.
