Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: fix norandmaps

Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt says:

    norandmaps  Don't use address space randomization. Equivalent
                to echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

but it doesn't work because arch_rnd() which is used to randomize
mm->mmap_base returns a random value unconditionally.

Shift the PF_RANDOMIZE check from arch_mmap_rnd() to arch_rnd().

Fixes: 1b028f784e8c ("x86/mm: Introduce mmap_compat_base() for 32-bit mmap()")
