Subject: [PATCH] selinux: optimize major part with a kernel config in selinux_mmap_addr()

The major part, the conditional branch in selinux_mmap_addr() is always to be
false so long as CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR is set to zero at compile time.

This usually happens in some linux distros, for instance Ubuntu, which
the config is set to zero in release version. Therefore it could be a bit
optimized with '#if <expr>' at compile time.
