__loongarch64 is a deprecated macro, provided for only compatibility
reasons[1]. For v1 of the series Heinrich has raised this[2], so I
tried to migrate to the new ones but obviously messed it up here :(

_LOONGARCH_SZLONG is a pre-defined macro provided by toolchain[3], so
it wouldn't be expanded to an empty token. But after examining the
toolchain convention documentation, I did find it's also deprecated.
Will drop it in the next version.
