Yann Droneaud d6c763afab arm64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize layout ...

Since commit 8a0a9bd4db ('random: make get_random_int() more
random'), get_random_int() returns a random value for each call,
so comment and hack introduced in mmap_rnd() as part of commit
1d18c47c73 ('arm64: MMU fault handling and page table management')
are incorrects.

Commit 1d18c47c73 seems to use the same hack introduced by
commit a5adc91a4b ('powerpc: Ensure random space between stack
and mmaps'), latter copied in commit 5a0efea09f ('sparc64: Sharpen
address space randomization calculations.').

But both architectures were cleaned up as part of commit
fa8cbaaf5a ('powerpc+sparc64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize
layout') as hack is no more needed since commit 8a0a9bd4db.

So the present patch removes the comment and the hack around
get_random_int() on AArch64's mmap_rnd().
