[PATCH] [S390] do not clobber personality flags in sys_32_personality()

[PATCH] [S390] do not clobber personality flags in sys_32_personality()

[Jiri Kosina]

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.

changed since v1: fix the bit ops to reflect the fact that PER_LINUX is 
actually 0

Applied. Thanks!
