[PATCH v2 2/2] ARM: memory: define TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE in terms of TASK_SIZE

TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is defined directly in terms of PAGE_OFFSET, which is
confusing given that the modules area sits between here and TASK_SIZE
and is not available for user allocations.
This patch defines TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE in terms of TASK_SIZE instead and
fixes a bug introduced by 394ef6403abc ("mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on
arm architecture") whereby TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is no longer page-aligned
for bottom-up mmap, causing get_unmapped_area to choke on misaligned
addresses.
