Because there is another option, ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS depending on EXPERT
which uses the MIN/MAX range defined per architecture. Since it's an
expert feature, we could as well ignore the MIN/MAX in Kconfig and just
add BUILD_BUG_ON checks to the code. This way we could simply define
them in C files.

Alternatively, add arithmetics support to kbuild ;).
