Subject: [PATCH] security: do not check mmap_min_addr on nommu systems

nommu systems can do anything with memory they please and so they already
win.  mmap_min_addr is the least of their worries.  Currently the
mmap_min_addr implementation is problamatic on such systems.  This patch
changes the addr_only argument to be a flags which can take the arguments
for addr_only or not_addr.  LSMs then need to properly implement these two
flags.
