[PATCH] x86/elf: Correct comment for STACK_RND_MASK()

[Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)]

Commit 913bd9060195 ("[PATCH] x86_64: Increase the variability of the
process stack on 64bit architectures"), merged in 2006, increased stack
randomisation from 8 MiB to an ostensible 1 GiB for 64-bit systems.

However the commit actually introduced a mask of 0x3fffff * 4 KiB pages
which provides 16 GiB of randomisation, not 1 GiB.

It appears Andi perhaps typo'd an additional 'f', as 0x3ffff would indeed
provide the stated 1 GiB.

Since this value has been in use for 20 years it seems sensible to retain
it, so correct the comment instead.
