Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] execve: Keep bprm->argmin behind CONFIG_MMU

When argmin was added in commit 655c16a8ce9c ("exec: separate
MM_ANONPAGES and RLIMIT_STACK accounting"), it was intended only for
validating stack limits on CONFIG_MMU[1]. All checking for reaching the
limit (argmin) is wrapped in CONFIG_MMU ifdef checks, though setting
argmin was not. That argmin is only supposed to be used under CONFIG_MMU
was rediscovered recently[2], and I don't want to trip over this again.

Move argmin's declaration into the existing CONFIG_MMU area, and add
helpers functions so the MMU tests can be consolidated.
