The other functions do a lot more than clearing a TIF flag, so they
deserved their own place. We could do this when adding MTE support. I
think we also need to check what other TIF flags we may inadvertently
pass on execve(), maybe have a mask clearing.

This follows the other PR_* options, e.g. PR_SET_VL/GET_VL,
PR_*_FP_MODE. We will use other bits in arg2, for example to set the
precise vs imprecise MTE trapping.
