This should be in_compat_syscall().

Also, this code is sufficiently twisted that I think it would be
better to have a common function that handles common prctls and defers
to a 64-bit-specific function if needed, or vice versa.  Vice versa
might be easier -- have a do_arch_prctl_common() that is listed as the
compat entry and have the 64-bit entry call it for unhandled prctls.
