    arm64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize layout · d6c763af
    Yann Droneaud authored
    Since commit 8a0a9bd4 ('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
    1d18c47c ('arm64: MMU fault handling and page table management')
    are incorrects.
    
    Commit 1d18c47c seems to use the same hack introduced by
    commit a5adc91a ('powerpc: Ensure random space between stack
    and mmaps'), latter copied in commit 5a0efea0 ('sparc64: Sharpen
    address space randomization calculations.').
    
    But both architectures were cleaned up as part of commit
    fa8cbaaf ('powerpc+sparc64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize
    layout') as hack is no more needed since commit 8a0a9bd4.
    
    So the present patch removes the comment and the hack around
    get_random_int() on AArch64's mmap_rnd().
