VM/Security: add security hook to do_brk
Given a specifically crafted binary do_brk() can be used to get low pages available in userspace virtually memory and can thus be used to circumvent the mmap_min_addr low memory protection. Add security checks in do_brk(). Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
