There are multiple errors in how sys_32_personality() handles personality
flags stored in top three bytes.
- directly comparing current->personality against PER_LINUX32 doesn't work
in cases when any of the personality flags stored in the top three bytes
are used.
- directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or PER_LINUX
discards any flags stored in the top three bytes
Fix the first one by properly using personality() macro to compare only
bytes covered by PER_MASK.
Fix the second one by setting only the bits that should be set, instead of
overwriting the whole value.
