Add a new do_arch_prctl to handle arch_prctls that are not specific to 64
bits. Call it from the syscall entry point, but not any of the other
callsites in the kernel, which all want one of the existing 64 bit only
arch_prctls.

This should be do_arch_prctl_common or similar to avoid confusion.

P.S. The subject should be "x86/arch_prctl: ...".
