x86: fix mmap random address range

x86: fix mmap random address range

On x86_32 casting the unsigned int result of get_random_int() to long may
result in a negative value.  On x86_32 the range of mmap_rnd() therefore
was -255 to 255.  The 32bit mode on x86_64 used 0 to 255 as intended.

The bug was introduced by 675a081 ("x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.c") in January
2008.
