[LTP] [PATCH 07/15] parisc: use generic sys_fanotify_mark implementation

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The sys_fanotify_mark() syscall on parisc uses the reverse word order
for the two halves of the 64-bit argument compared to all syscalls on
all 32-bit architectures. As far as I can tell, the problem is that
the function arguments on parisc are sorted backwards (26, 25, 24, 23,
...) compared to everyone else, so the calling conventions of using an
even/odd register pair in native word order result in the lower word
coming first in function arguments, matching the expected behavior
on little-endian architectures. The system call conventions however
ended up matching what the other 32-bit architectures do.

A glibc cleanup in 2020 changed the userspace behavior in a way that
handles all architectures consistently, but this inadvertently broke
parisc32 by changing to the same method as everyone else.

The change made it into glibc-2.35 and subsequently into debian 12
(bookworm), which is the latest stable release. This means we
need to choose between reverting the glibc change or changing the
kernel to match it again, but either hange will leave some systems
broken.

Pick the option that is more likely to help current and future
users and change the kernel to match current glibc. This also
means the behavior is now consistent across architectures, but
it breaks running new kernels with old glibc builds before 2.35.

I found this through code inspection, please double-check to make
sure I got the bug and the fix right.

The alternative is to fix this by reverting glibc back to the
unusual behavior.
