As it was suggested by Andy, I'm working on TIF_IA32 flag
removal. In this first four places, it's quite trivial to
use user_64bit_mode instead of test_thread_flag().
This should fix possible problems for native applications
that change their code selector to __USER32_CS, but do
not have TIF_IA32 flag.

I still quite don't know what to do with uprobes using
ia32_compat check and will make the next patches about
ptrace & signals usage of TIF_IA32.

Dmitry Safonov (4):
  x86/events: down with test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32)
  x86/intel: down with test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32)
  x86/intel lbr: down with test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32)
  x86/oprofile: down with test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32)
