There are a number of bits of code sprinkled around the kernel to
set a thread flag if a certain condition is true, and clear it
otherwise.
To help make those call sites terser and less cumbersome, this
patch adds a new family of thread flag manipulators
update*_thread_flag([...,] flag, cond)
which do the equivalent of:
if (cond)
set*_thread_flag([...,] flag);
else
clear*_thread_flag([...,] flag);

Note, this patch assumes C99 _Bool semantics where casting a value to
_Bool is true is and only if the value compares != 0. This would not
be true if bool where a typedef of unsigned char for example.
It appears that the kernel has always used the C99 semantics for bool
and relies on them elsewhere, so I don't believe this patch introduces
a new dependency.
