[PATCH 12/18] kernel: add ksys_personality()

[Mark Rutland]

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel call to the
sys_personality() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function
is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it
uses the same calling convention as sys_personality().

This is necessary to enable conversion of arm64's syscall handling to
use pt_regs wrappers.
