[PATCH] x86, syscall: Fix _TIF_NOHZ handling in syscall_trace_enter_phase1

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 16:56:30 EST


TIF_NOHZ is 19 (i.e. _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE | _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME |
_TIF_SINGLESTEP), not (1<<19).

This code is involved in Dave's trinity lockup, but I don't see why
it would cause any of the problems he's seeing, except inadvertently
by causing a different path through entry_64.S's syscall handling.
