[ Upstream commit 2a5eb9995528441447d33838727f6ec1caf08139 ]

Currently the brk starts its randomization immediately after .bss,
which means there is a chance that when the random offset is 0, linear
overflows from .bss can reach into the brk area. Leave at least a single
page gap between .bss and brk (when it has not already been explicitly
relocated into the mmap range).
