Subject: [PATCH 4.9 101/121] selftests/x86/syscall_nt: Clear weird flags after each test

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit a61fa2799ef9bf6c4f54cf7295036577cececc72 ]

Clear the weird flags before logging to improve strace output --
logging results while, say, TF is set does no one any favors.
