[PATCH] x86: ipc: fix x32 version of shmid64_ds and msqid64_ds

A bugfix broke the x32 shmid64_ds and msqid64_ds data structure layout
(as seen from user space)  a few years ago: Originally, __BITS_PER_LONG
was defined as 64 on x32, so we did not have padding after the 64-bit
__kernel_time_t fields, After __BITS_PER_LONG got changed to 32,
applications would observe extra padding.

In other parts of the uapi headers we seem to have a mix of those
expecting either 32 or 64 on x32 applications, so we can't easily revert
the path that broke these two structures.

Instead, this patch decouples x32 from the other architectures and moves
it back into arch specific headers, partially reverting the even older
commit 73a2d096fdf2 ("x86: remove all now-duplicate header files").

It's not clear whether this ever made any difference, since at least
glibc carries its own (correct) copy of both of these header files,
so possibly no application has ever observed the definitions here.

There are other UAPI interfaces that depend on __BITS_PER_LONG and
that might suffer from the same problem on x32, but I have not tried to
analyse them in enough detail to be sure. If anyone still cares about x32,
that may be a useful thing to do.

Fixes: f4b4aae18288 ("x86/headers/uapi: Fix __BITS_PER_LONG value for x32 builds")

This came out of the y2038 ipc syscall series but can be applied
and backported independently.
