selftests/x86: Disable the ldt_gdt_64 test for now
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.
