[PATCH 09/18] linux: Remove time64-support

It breaks the usage case of live migration like CRIU or similar
and most usages can be optimized away by either building glibc with
a minimum 5.1 kernel or by using the 32-bit syscall for the common
case.

Checked on i686-linux-gnu on a 4.15 kernel and on a 5.11 kernel
(with and without --enable-kernel=5.1) and on x86_64-linux-gnu.

-/* These helper functions are used to optimize the 64-bit time_t support on
-   configurations that requires support for 32-bit time_t fallback
-   (!__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS).  The idea is once the kernel advertises that
-   it does not have 64-bit time_t support, glibc will stop to try issue the
-   64-bit time_t syscall altogether.
-
-   For instance:
-
-     #ifndef __NR_symbol_time64
-     # define __NR_symbol_time64 __NR_symbol
-     #endif
-     int r;
-     if (supports_time64 ())
-       {
-         r = INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL (symbol, ...);
-         if (r == 0 || errno != ENOSYS)
-	   return r;
-
-         mark_time64_unsupported ();
-       }
-     #ifndef __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS
-     <32-bit fallback syscall>
-     #endif
-     return r;
-
-   On configuration with default 64-bit time_t this optimization should be
-   optimized away by the compiler resulting in no overhead.  */
