[PATCHv2] x86/mm: set x32 syscall bit in SET_PERSONALITY()

[Dmitry Safonov]

After my changes to mmap(), its code now relies on the bitness of
performing syscall. According to that, it chooses the base of allocation:
mmap_base for 64-bit mmap() and mmap_compat_base for 32-bit syscall.
It was done by:
  commit 1b028f784e8c ("x86/mm: Introduce mmap_compat_base() for
32-bit mmap()").

The code afterwards relies on in_compat_syscall() returning true for
32-bit syscalls. It's usually so while we're in context of application
that does 32-bit syscalls. But during exec() it is not valid for x32 ELF.
The reason is that the application hasn't yet done any syscall, so x32
bit has not being set.
That results in -ENOMEM for x32 ELF files as there fired BAD_ADDR()
in elf_map(), that is called from do_execve()->load_elf_binary().
For i386 ELFs it works as SET_PERSONALITY() sets TS_COMPAT flag.

I suggest to set x32 bit before first return to userspace, during
setting personality at exec(). This way we can rely on
in_compat_syscall() during exec().

32-bit mmap()")
