[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.
