Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86 signals: lift flags diddling code

This lifts the code diddling the TF and DF bits for signal handler setup
out of the several places copying the same code into the one place that
calls them all.  There is no change in what it does.

I also separated the recently-added DF bit clearing from the TF diddling.
The compiler turns them back into one instruction anyway.  The tossing
in of DF to the same line of code with no new comments was a bit more
arcane than seems wise.
