If a process has a non-x32 ia32 personality and changes to x32, the
process would keep its TS_COMPAT flag. x32 uses the presence of the
x32 flag on a syscall to determine compat status, so make sure
TS_COMPAT is cleared.

I suspect we should also clear TS_COMPAT in set_personality_64() ...
this is not x32-related, but would affect the behavior when execing a
64-bit task from an i386 compatibility task. I have no idea if it
actually makes any difference, and clearly it can't have been too broken
since noone has found a problem all these years, but it looks wrong...
