 From glibc 2.31 announce,
"settimeofday itself is obsolescent according to POSIX.  Programs
   that set the system time should use clock_settime and/or the adjtime
   family of functions instead".

This is why I am not using tst_variant for this case.
Also, glibc actually call clock_settime/gettime for this pair.

I remembered we have a commit for this "
syscalls: Check for time64 unsafe syscalls before using them"
Looking musl glibc code[1], can we use 
__NR_gettimeofday_time32/__NR_settimeofday_time32 in syscalls.h to 
detect this change?

Agree. The more important reason is that get/settimeofday is obsolete, 
we should use other syscall to set/get time.
