[PATCH v6 2/9] arm64: kaslr: don't pretend KASLR is enabled if offset < MIN_KIMG_ALIGN

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

Our virtual KASLR displacement consists of a fully randomized multiple
of 2 MiB, combined with an offset that is equal to the physical
placement modulo 2 MiB. This arrangement ensures that we can always use
2 MiB block mappings (or contiguous PTE mappings for 16k or 64k pages)
to map the kernel.

This means that a KASLR offset of less than 2 MiB is simply the product
of this physical displacement, and no randomization has actually taken
place. So let's avoid misreporting this case as 'KASLR enabled'.
