The p{read,write}v{64} consolidation patch [1] added a wrong guard
for LO_HI_LONG definition.  It currently uses both
'__WORDSIZE == 64' and 'defined __ASSUME_WORDSIZE64_ILP32' to set
the value to be passed in one argument, otherwise it will be split
in two.

However it fails on MIPS64n32 where syscalls n32 uses the compat
implementation in the kernel meaning the off_t arguments are passed
in two separate registers.

GLIBC already defines a macro for such cases (__OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T),
so this patch uses it instead.

Checked on x86_64, i686, x32, aarch64, armhf, and s390x.

Yes, Joseph reported it [1].

And with you remark I noted this fix is incorrect. Since kernel commit
601cc11d054 the non-compat preadv/pwritev in same order, so the LO_HI_LONG
is the same regardless off/off64_t size or wordsize. 

The tests were passing on 64-bit because files were small enough so 
the high part of offset is 0 regardless.  I will send an updated fix.
For testcase, I am not sure it is acceptable to create a 4GB file to
check on high part of offset (so I am accepting recommendations).
