[PATCH 01/11] exec: Reduce bprm->per_clear to a single bit

[Eric W. Biederman]

The bprm->per_clear field only takes the values 0 and
PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID.  Reduce the field to a signle bit to make it clear
that the only question is should the dangerous personality bits be
cleared or not.

Update the documentation of the security lsm hooks.
