3.2.94-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Zefan Li <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e0e5070b20e01f0321f97db4e4e174f3f6b49e50 upstream.
This will simplify code when we add new flags.
v3:
- Kees pointed out that no_new_privs should never be cleared, so we
shouldn't define task_clear_no_new_privs(). we define 3 macros instead
of a single one.
v2:
- updated scripts/tags.sh, suggested by Peter
