arm64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize layout

Since commit 4a82a99b5b4e ('random: make get_random_int() more
random'), get_random_int() returns a random value for each call,
so comment and hack introduced in mmap_rnd() as part of commit
33c2198c8e78 ('arm64: MMU fault handling and page table management')
are incorrects.

Commit 33c2198c8e78 seems to use the same hack introduced by
commit c63827563fe9 ('powerpc: Ensure random space between stack
and mmaps'), latter copied in commit 0618daed76ee ('sparc64: Sharpen
address space randomization calculations.').

But both architectures were cleaned up as part of commit
0909d8af80b3 ('powerpc+sparc64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize
layout') as hack is no more needed since commit 4a82a99b5b4e.

So the present patch removes the comment and the hack around
get_random_int() on AArch64's mmap_rnd().
