[PATCH 2/2] arm64: cleanup {COMPAT_,}SET_PERSONALITY() macro

Originally {COMPAT_,}SET_PERSONALITY() only sets the 32-bit flag in thread_info
structure. But there is some work that should be done after setting the personality.
Currently it's done in the macro, which is not the best idea.

In this patch new arch_setup_new_exec() routine is introduced, and all setup code
is moved there, as suggested by Catalin:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/8/4/494

Note: mm->context.flags doesn't require the atomic strong ordered acceess to the
field, so use __set_bit() there;
