[PATCH v5 3/4] arm64: mm: support ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS.

arm64: arch_mmap_rnd() uses STACK_RND_MASK to generate the
random offset for the mmap base address.  This value represents a
compromise between increased ASLR effectiveness and avoiding
address-space fragmentation. Replace it with a Kconfig option, which
is sensibly bounded, so that platform developers may choose where to
place this compromise. Keep default values as new minimums.

The above is causing a build failure on -next today.

    ARM64: mm: Fix build failure caused by invalid ifdef statement
    
    Commit 2e4614190421 ("arm64-mm-support-arch_mmap_rnd_bits-v4") caused the
    following build failure due to a missing "#". Fix this.
