Subject: [PATCH 4.12 31/41] x86/elf: Remove the unnecessary ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE checks

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

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

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

commit 01578e36163cdd0e4fd61d9976de15f13364e26d upstream.

The ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE checks in stack_maxrandom_size() and
randomize_stack_top() are not required.

PF_RANDOMIZE is set by load_elf_binary() only if ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE is not
set, no need to re-check after that.
