[PATCH] parisc: fix personality flag check in copy_thread()

[Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx>]

Directly comparing task_struct->personality against PER_* is not fully 
correct, as it doesn't take flags potentially stored in top three bytes 
into account.

Analogically, directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or
PER_LINUX discards any flags stored in the top three bytes.

Found accidentally, untested, I don't have the hardware.
