BACKPORT: arm: mm: support ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS

arm: arch_mmap_rnd() uses a hard-code value of 8 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 8 as the minimum acceptable value.
