ARM: 6878/1: fix personality flag propagation across an exec
Our SET_PERSONALITY() implementation was overwriting all existing
personality flags, including ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, making them unavailable
to processes being exec'd after a call to personality() in user space.
This prevents the gdb test suite from running successfully.
