At this momet, logic in arch_get_unmapped_area{,_topdown} for mmaps with
MAP_32BIT flag checks TIF_ADDR32 which means:
o if 32-bit ELF changes mode to 64-bit on x86_64 and then tries to
mmap() with MAP_32BIT it'll result in addr over 4Gb (as default is
top-down allocation)
o if 64-bit ELF changes mode to 32-bit and tries mmap() with MAP_32BIT,
it'll allocate only memory in 1GB space: [0x40000000, 0x80000000).
Fix it by handeling MAP_32BIT in 64-bit syscalls only.
As a little bonus it'll make thread flag a little less used.
