Subject: s390: revert ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes

From: Martin Schwidefsky <[email protected]>

commit 345f8f34bb473241d62803951c18a844dd705f8d upstream.

This reverts commit a73dc5370e153ac63718d850bddf0c9aa9d871e6.

Reducing the base address for 31-bit PIE executables from (STACK_TOP/3)*2 to 4MB broke several compat programs which use -fpie to move the executable out of the lower 16MB.
