Subject: [ 111/187] x86, compat: Use test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) in compat signal delivery

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@...el.com>

commit 0b91f45b23cb73ce11acdc3cf4c6efd4441e3b3e upstream.

Signal delivery compat path may not have the 'TS_COMPAT' flag (that
flag indicates how we entered the kernel).  So use
test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) instead of is_ia32_task(): one of the
functions of TIF_IA32 is just what kind of signal frame we want.
