Subject: [PATCH 5/6] x86: elf: Use e_machine to select start_thread for x32

Since TIF_X32 is going away, avoid using it to find the ELF type on
compat_start_thread

According to SysV AMD64 ABI Draft, an AMD64 ELF object using ILP32 must
have ELFCLASS32 with (E_MACHINE == EM_X86_64), so use that ELF field to
differentiate a x32 object from a IA32 object when executing
start_thread in compat mode.
