The build bot reported a randconfig regressions with this
patch, which I've now fixed up like this:

diff --git a/kernel/sys_ni.c b/kernel/sys_ni.c
index d7eee421d4bc..b696b85ac63e 100644
--- a/kernel/sys_ni.c
+++ b/kernel/sys_ni.c

 COND_SYSCALL(io_pgetevents_time32);

+COND_SYSCALL_COMPAT(io_pgetevents_time64);
 COND_SYSCALL(io_uring_setup);
 COND_SYSCALL(io_uring_enter);
 COND_SYSCALL(io_uring_register);

This was already broken on parisc the same way, but the
mistake in sys_ni.c turned into a link failure for every
compat architecture after my patch.
