x32: Fix alignment fail in struct compat_siginfo
Adding struct _sigchld_x32 caused a misalignment cascade in struct
siginfo, because union _sifields is located on an 4-byte boundary
(8-byte misaligned.)
Adding new fields that are 8-byte aligned caused the intermediate
structures to also be aligned to 8 bytes, thereby adding padding in
unexpected places.
Thus, change s64 to compat_s64 here, which makes it "misaligned on
paper". In reality these fields *are* actually aligned (there are 3
preceeding ints outside the union and 3 inside struct _sigchld_x32),
but because of the intervening union and struct it is not possible for
gcc to avoid padding without breaking the ABI.
