Security: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr
If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with a
non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail the
security checks. Since this is just a hint address this patch will round
such a hint address above mmap_min_addr.
gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint addresses
in the 8k-32k range. Without this patch all such programs failed and with
the patch they happily get a higher address.
This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't exist
without it and there would be no security check possible no matter what. So
we should not bother compiling in this rounding if it is just a waste of
time.
