Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/1] arm64: add compile-time test into is_compat_task()

Currently some parts of the codebase will test for CONFIG_COMPAT before
testing is_compat_task(), probably in order to avoid a run-time test into
the task structure, while other parts of codebase will just test even when
the option is not compiled in.

Since is_compat_task() is an inlined function, it would be helpful to add a
!CONFIG_COMPAT version of the helper, allowing compile-time optimization.

With this, the compiler is able to understand in build-time that
is_compat_task() will always return 0, and optimize-out some of the extra
code introduced by the option.

This allows optimizing-out code when the option is not selected, and
otherwise removing a lot #ifdefs that were introduced, making the code
more clean.
