Subject: brk: COMPAT_BRK: fix detection of randomized brk
5520e89 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK")
tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy (libc5-based)
applications finally right.
It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been randomized in
the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work for those binaries,
as reported by Geert.
I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in
task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2
case.

I am not really happy about introducing the bit flag, but I currently
don't see another option. And it's only for the legacy CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK
case anyway.
Andrew, Ingo, any opinions/objections?
If not -- Andrew, I guess this should go into current -rc still.
