x86/mm: Convert mmu context ia32_compat into a proper flags field
The ia32_compat attribute is a weird thing. It mirrors TIF_IA32 and
TIF_X32 and is used only in two very unrelated places: (1) to decide if
the vsyscall page is accessible (2) for uprobes to find whether the
patched instruction is 32 or 64 bit.
In preparation to remove the TIF flags, a new mechanism is required for
ia32_compat, but given its odd semantics, adding a real flags field which
configures these specific behaviours is the best option.
So, set_personality_x64() can ask for the vsyscall page, which is not
available in x32/ia32 and set_personality_ia32() can configure the uprobe
code as needed.
uprobe cannot rely on other methods like user_64bit_mode() to decide how
to patch, so it needs some specific flag like this.
