[RFC][PATCH 1/8] x86: make is_64bit_mm() widely available

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The uprobes code has a nice helper, is_64bit_mm(), that consults both
the runtime and compile-time flags for 32-bit support.  Instead of
reinventing the wheel, pull it in to an x86 header so we can use it
for MPX.

I prefer passing the mm around to test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) beacuse
it makes it explicit where the context is coming from.  It will also
make it easier if we ever need to access the MPX structures from
another process.
