Subject: [PATCH] mips: vdso: conditionalize 32-bit time functions on COMPAT_32BIT_TIME

When the VDSO falls back to 32-bit time functions on kernels with
COMPAT_32BIT_TIME=n, userspace becomes corrupted and appears to crash
shortly after, with something like:

[    0.359617] do_page_fault(): sending SIGSEGV to init for invalid read access from 000000007ff790d0
[    0.359843] epc = 0000000077e45df4 in libc.so[77da6000+de000]
[    0.360319] ra  = 0000000010000c50 in init[10000000+2000]
[    0.364456] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

This can be reproduced with simply calling `clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &ts)`,
since `CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID` is not exported to the VDSO, invoking
the syscall callback branch. This crash was observed with musl 1.20's
clock_gettime implementation:

int __clock_gettime(clockid_t clk, struct timespec *ts)
{
  int r;

  int (*f)(clockid_t, struct timespec *) =
    (int (*)(clockid_t, struct timespec *))vdso_func;
  if (f) {
    r = f(clk, ts);
    if (!r) {
      return r;
    }
    if (r == -EINVAL)
      return __syscall_ret(r);
  }
  r = __syscall(SYS_clock_gettime, clk, ts); // <-- CRASH
  if (r == -ENOSYS) {
    if (clk == CLOCK_REALTIME) {
      __syscall(SYS_gettimeofday, ts, 0);
      ts->tv_nsec = (int)ts->tv_nsec * 1000;
      return 0;
    }
    r = -EINVAL;
  }
  return __syscall_ret(r);
}

The particular kernel and libc are built as part of the MIPS64 CI on
build.wireguard.com which generally uses as minimal configurations as
possible.
