[PATCH 4/5] mm: split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR

This fixes the "offset2lib" weakness in ASLR for arm, arm64, mips,
powerpc, and x86. The problem is that if there is a leak of ASLR from
the executable (ET_DYN), it means a leak of shared library offset as
well (mmap), and vice versa. Further details and a PoC of this attack
are available here:
http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html

With this patch, a PIE linked executable (ET_DYN) has its own ASLR region:

$ ./show_mmaps_pie

7f75bed4e000-7f75bed4f000 rw-p  ...

7fffb377d000-7fffb377f000 r-xp  ...  [vdso]

The change is to add a call the newly created arch_mmap_rnd() into the
ELF loader for handling ET_DYN ASLR in a separate region from mmap ASLR,
as already done on s390. Removes CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE, which
is no longer needed.
