With the new task struct randomization, we can run into a build
failure for certain random seeds:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S:803: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4096)
Only two constants in asm-offset.h are affected, and I'm changing
both of them here to work correctly in all configurations.
One more macro has the problem, but is currently unused, so this
removes it instead of adding complexity.

Fixes: c33d8b12fbbd ("task_struct: Allow randomized layout")

Shouldn't this be ~PAGE_MASK?
I think
.if (TSK_STACK_CANARY & PAGE_MASK) != 0
is better and clearer as well

It's not really that much clearer - what has any of this got to do with
the size of a page? Just because a definition appears to be numerically
the same, it doesn't mean it should be used!
The LDR instruction takes a maximum of a 12-bit constant. This 12-bit
constant has nothing to do with the page size; it's been that way since
the early ARMs that knew nothing about page tables.
Please instead create a LDR_IMM12_MASK or similar definition for this.

Yes, good point.

Right, sorry about that. Russell also pointed out that PAGE_MASK
is not the best constant for this, as the MMU page size is independent
of the definition of the immediate arguments. I'll fix both and resend.
