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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
