What good is the run-time BUG() here? Nothing should be calling these
when CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled, so I think you should just remove
the #ifdef around the declarations, and the entire #else case.

They are called from handle_signal(), so that's to avoid #ifdef inside
functions. I can drop the BUG() (but keep the empty function) and
change the checks to is_compat_task() so that the compiler optimises the
condition out when !COMPAT.
