Re: Security: Replace dac_mmap_min_addr to mmap_min_addr in cap_file_mmap()

[wzt wzt <wzt.wzt@gmail.com>]

still not understand,  if CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR is not set,
mmap_min_addr is equal dac_mmap_min_addr, right?
if not, mmap_min_addr is set as CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR.  what's the
effect of mmap_min_addr?  except round_hint_to_min() will use
mmap_min_addr, any other functions will call it?
Anyway, the comments need change mmap_min_addr as dac_mmap_min_addr,
right? If i'm wrong, please point it, thanks.
