On sparc64 compat-enabled kernels, any task can make 32-bit and 64-bit syscalls. is_compat_task returns true in 32-bit tasks, which does not necessarily imply that the current syscall is 32-bit. Provide an in_compat_syscall implementation that checks whether the current syscall is compat. As far as I know, sparc is the only architecture on which is_compat_task checks the compat status of the task and on which the compat status of a syscall can differ from the compat status of the task. On x86, is_compat_task checks the syscall type, not the task type.
