[PATCH 6/8] mm: Allow arch specific arch_randomize_brk() with CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT

Commit e7142bf5d231 ("arm64, mm: make randomization selected by
generic topdown mmap layout") introduced a default version of
arch_randomize_brk() provided when
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT is selected.

powerpc could select CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT
but needs to provide its own arch_randomize_brk().

In order to allow that, don't make
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT select
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE. Instead, ensure that
selecting CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT and
selecting CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE has the same effect.

Then only provide the default arch_randomize_brk() when the
architecture has not selected CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE.
