MIPS: Don't clobber personality high bits.

The high bits of current->personality carry settings that we don't want to
clobber on each exec.  Only clobber them if the lower bits that indicate
either PER_LINUX or PER_LINUX32 are invalid.

The clobbering prevents us from using useful bits like ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
