shmbuf.h: add asm/shmbuf.h to UAPI compile-test coverage

asm/shmbuf.h is currently excluded from the UAPI compile-test because of
the errors like follows:

HDRTEST usr/include/asm/shmbuf.h
In file included from ./usr/include/asm/shmbuf.h:6,
from <command-line>:
./usr/include/asm-generic/shmbuf.h:26:33: error: field ‘shm_perm’ has incomplete type
26 | struct ipc64_perm shm_perm; /* operation perms */
| ^~~~~~~~
./usr/include/asm-generic/shmbuf.h:27:9: error: unknown type name ‘size_t’
27 | size_t shm_segsz; /* size of segment (bytes) */
| ^~~~~~
./usr/include/asm-generic/shmbuf.h:40:9: error: unknown type name ‘__kernel_pid_t’
40 | __kernel_pid_t shm_cpid; /* pid of creator */
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./usr/include/asm-generic/shmbuf.h:41:9: error: unknown type name ‘__kernel_pid_t’
41 | __kernel_pid_t shm_lpid; /* pid of last operator */
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The errors can be fixed by replacing size_t with __kernel_size_t and by
including proper headers.

Then, remove the no-header-test entry from user/include/Makefile.

x86: Fix various typos in comments

Fix ~144 single-word typos in arch/x86/ code comments.

Doing this in a single commit should reduce the churn.

y2038: ipc: remove __kernel_time_t reference from headers

There are two structures based on time_t that conflict between libc and
kernel: timeval and timespec. Both are now renamed to __kernel_old_timeval
and __kernel_old_timespec.

For time_t, the old typedef is still __kernel_time_t. There is nothing
wrong with that name, but it would be nice to not use that going forward
as this type is used almost only in deprecated interfaces because of
the y2038 overflow.

In the IPC headers (msgbuf.h, sembuf.h, shmbuf.h), __kernel_time_t is only
used for the 64-bit variants, which are not deprecated.

Change these to a plain 'long', which is the same type as __kernel_time_t
on all 64-bit architectures anyway, to reduce the number of users of the
old type.

x86/ipc: Fix x32 version of shmid64_ds and msqid64_ds

A bugfix broke the x32 shmid64_ds and msqid64_ds data structure layout
(as seen from user space) a few years ago: Originally, __BITS_PER_LONG
was defined as 64 on x32, so we did not have padding after the 64-bit
__kernel_time_t fields, After __BITS_PER_LONG got changed to 32,
applications would observe extra padding.

In other parts of the uapi headers we seem to have a mix of those
expecting either 32 or 64 on x32 applications, so we can't easily revert
the path that broke these two structures.

Instead, this patch decouples x32 from the other architectures and moves
it back into arch specific headers, partially reverting the even older
commit 73a2d096fdf2 ("x86: remove all now-duplicate header files").

It's not clear whether this ever made any difference, since at least
glibc carries its own (correct) copy of both of these header files,
so possibly no application has ever observed the definitions here.

Based on a suggestion from H.J. Lu, I tried out the tool from
https://github.com/hjl-tools/linux-header to find other such
bugs, which pointed out the same bug in statfs(), which also has
a separate (correct) copy in glibc.
