Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm64: cleanup {COMPAT_,}SET_PERSONALITY() macro

There is some work that should be done after setting the personality.
Currently it's done in the macro, which is not the best idea.

In this patch new arch_setup_new_exec() routine is introduced, and all
setup code is moved there, as suggested by Catalin:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/8/4/494

v2:
 - don't move clearing READ_IMPLIES_EXEC flag from SET_PERSONALITY()
