Subject: [PATCH v4 05/14] arm64, mm: Make randomization selected by generic topdown mmap layout

This commits selects ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE when an arch uses the generic
topdown mmap layout functions so that this security feature is on by
default.
Note that this commit also removes the possibility for arm64 to have elf
randomization and no MMU: without MMU, the security added by randomization
is worth nothing.
