[PATCH v3 0/10] split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR

To address the "offset2lib" ASLR weakness[1], this separates ET_DYN
ASLR from mmap ASLR, as already done on s390. The architectures
that are already randomizing mmap (arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390,
and x86), have their various forms of arch_mmap_rnd() made available
via the new CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE. For these architectures,
arch_randomize_brk() is collapsed as well.
This is an alternative to the solutions in:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/23/442
I've been able to test x86 and arm, and the buildbot (so far) seems
happy with building the rest.
Thanks!

v3:
- split change on a per-arch basis for easier review
- moved PF_RANDOMIZE check out of per-arch code (ingo)
v2:
- verbosified the commit logs, especially 4/5 (akpm)
