[RFC] User stack pointer randomisation

[Franck Bui-Huu <vagabon.xyz@gmail.com>]

This patch adds a page size range randomisation to the user
stack pointer.

  Hi Ralf,

 This is taken from the x86 architecture. I modified it a bit so the
 randomisation range is only a page size range. Since the top of the
 stack is already randomised, I don't see any point to make the range
 bigger as this is the case in x86 arch. I'm surely missing something
 obvious and that's the reason this patch is a RFC.

 I tested it and it works fine so far.

 Please try to have a look,

                Franck
