MIPS: topdown mmap support
This patch introduced topdown mmap support in user process address
space allocation policy.
Recently, we ran some large applications that use mmap heavily and
lead to OOM due to inflexible mmap allocation policy on MIPS32.
Since most other major archs supported it for years, it is reasonable
to follow the trend and reduce the pain of porting applications.
Due to cache aliasing concern, arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() and
other helper functions are implemented in arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c.
