Log:
security: set DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR to 65536

Low address space to protect from user allocation, see
a5ecbcb8c13ea8a822d243bf782d0dc9525b4f84, runtime tunable on
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr. let's see if we get any fallout.
double checked after Kconfig recommendation that fedora uses
that recommendation too.
