Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.20 23/72] riscv: Adjust mmap base address at a third of task size

From: Alexandre Ghiti <aghiti@...em.com>

[ Upstream commit ae662eec8a515ab550524e04c793b5ddf1aae3a1 ]

This ratio is the most used among all other architectures and make
icache_hygiene libhugetlbfs test pass: this test mmap lots of
hugepages whose addresses, without this patch, reach the end of
the process user address space.
