Subject: [PATCH 58/58] x86 get_unmapped_area: Access mmap_legacy_base through mm_struct member

3.5.7.21 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Radu Caragea <sinaelgl@...il.com>

commit 41aacc1eea645c99edbe8fbcf78a97dc9b862adc upstream.

This is the updated version of df54d6fa5427 ("x86 get_unmapped_area():
use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction") that only randomizes the
mmap base address once.
