The choose_32_64() macros were added to deal with an odd inconsistency
between the 32-bit and 64-bit layout of 'struct stat' way back when in
commit
a52dd971f947 ("vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function").
Then a decade later Mikulas noticed that said inconsistency had been a
mistake in the early x86-64 port, and shouldn't have existed in the
first place. So commit
932aba1e1690 ("stat: fix inconsistency between
struct stat and struct compat_stat") removed the uses of the helpers.
But the helpers remained around, unused.
Get rid of them.
