x86/mm: Introduce mmap_compat_base() for 32-bit mmap()

mmap() uses a base address, from which it starts to look for a free space
for allocation.

The base address is stored in mm->mmap_base, which is calculated during
exec(). The address depends on task's size, set rlimit for stack, ASLR
randomization. The base depends on the task size and the number of random
bits which are different for 64-bit and 32bit applications.

Due to the fact, that the base address is fixed, its mmap() from a compat
(32bit) syscall issued by a 64bit task will return a address which is based
on the 64bit base address and does not fit into the 32bit address space
(4GB). The returned pointer is truncated to 32bit, which results in an
invalid address.

To solve store a seperate compat address base plus a compat legacy address
base in mm_struct. These bases are calculated at exec() time and can be
used later to address the 32bit compat mmap() issued by 64 bit
applications.

As a consequence of this change 32-bit applications issuing a 64-bit
syscall (after doing a long jump) will get a 64-bit mapping now. Before
this change 32-bit applications always got a 32bit mapping.
