[PATCH] ARM: renumber bits related to _TIF_WORK_MASK

We want to ensure that the mask related to calling do_work_pending()
is within the first 16 bits. Move bits unrelated to that outside of
that range, to avoid spuriously calling do_work_pending() when we don't
need to.

Russell, I have this queued up and can send it out other fixes this
week. Or let me know if you want to funnel it. Thanks!
