x32: Make sure TS_COMPAT is cleared for x32 tasks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If a process has a non-x32 ia32 personality and changes to x32, the
process would keep its TS_COMPAT flag. x32 uses the presence of the
x32 flag on a syscall to determine compat status, so make sure
TS_COMPAT is cleared.
