VM/Security: add security hook to do_brk (CVE-2007-6434)



patch ecaf18c1 in mainline.

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 virtual memory and can thus be used to circumvent
the mmap_min_addr low memory protection.  Add security checks in do_brk().
