Subject: [PATCH RESEND 6/8] parisc: Use mmap_base, not mmap_legacy_base, as low_limit for bottom-up mmap

Bottom-up mmap scheme is used twice:

- for legacy mode, in which mmap_legacy_base and mmap_base are equal.

- in case of mmap failure in top-down mode, where there is no need to go
through the whole address space again for the bottom-up fallback: the goal
of this fallback is to find, as a last resort, space between the top-down
mmap base and the stack, which is the only place not covered by the
top-down mmap.

Then this commit removes the usage of mmap_legacy_base field from parisc
code.
