ldt_gdt.c relies on cross-cpu invalidation of SS to do one of its
tests.  On 32-bit builds, this works fine, but on 64-bit builds, it
only works if the kernel has proper SS sigcontext handling for
64-bit user programs.

Since the SS fixes are currently reverted, restrict the test case to
32 bits for now.

In principle, I could change the test to use a different segment
register, but it would be messy: CS can't point to the LDT for
64-bit code, and the other registers don't result in immediate
faults because they aren't reloaded on kernel -> user transitions.

When we fix sigcontext (in 4.6?), we can revert this.
