[LTP] [PATCH] Correct the kernel_bits value in x86 PER_LINUX32.

From: Kenneth Magic <kmagic@google.com>

Android runs all 32bit programs in a PER_LIINUX32 personality
even under a 64 bit kernel, causing the machine to show up as
"i686". Check for and correct this case so tests use the correct
kernel_bits value.
