x86: change thread_info's flag field back to 32 bits
Impact: pack struct thread_info more tightly
Change x86_64's thread_info 'flags' field back to __u32.
This was changed to 'unsigned long' when the thread_info*.h
for i386 and x86_64 were merged. Change it back. We can
do this as only 27 bits of 'flags' are actually used.
This change actually packs down thread_info by 64 bits:
32 bits are saved by the smaller flags, and 32 bits are
saved by the following 'mm_segment_t field' becoming
naturally 64-bit aligned.
