stat: remove no-longer-used helper macros

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 a52dd971 ("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 932aba1e ("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.
