[PATCH] arm64: write_sysreg asm illegal for aarch32

Cross compiling to aarch32 (for vdso32) using clang correctly
identifies that (the unused) write_sysreg inline asm directive is
illegal in that architectural context:
arch/arm64/include/asm/arch_timer.h: error: invalid input constraint 'rZ' in asm
write_sysreg(cntkctl, cntkctl_el1);
^
arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h: note: expanded from macro 'write_sysreg'
: : "rZ" (__val));
^
GCC normally checks for correctness everywhere. But uniquely for
unused asm, will optimize out and suppress the error report.
