Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: add config to make randomize_va_space RO
Add config RO_RANDMAP_SYSCTL to set the mode of the randomize_va_space
sysctl to 0444 to disallow all runtime changes. This will prevent
accidental changing of this value by a root service.
The config is disabled by default to avoid surprises.
