PATCH 1/2 x86: fix norandmaps

Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt says:

norandmaps Don't use address space randomization. Equivalent
to echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

but it doesn't work because arch_rnd() which is used to randomize mm->mmap_base returns a random value unconditionally.

Shift the PF_RANDOMIZE check from arch_mmap_rnd() to arch_rnd().

Fixes 1b028f784e8c ("x86/mm: Introduce mmap_compat_base() for 32-bit mmap()")

PATCH 2/2 x86/elf: remove the unnecessary ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE checks in stack_maxrandom_size() and randomize_stack_top()

PF_RANDOMIZE is set by load_elf_binary() only if ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE is not set, no need to re-check after that.that.that.that.that.that.that.that.
