Revert "stackprotector: Increase the per-task stack canary's random range from 32...

This reverts commit 609a3e81550b0b4ea87197b0f59455a7bcff975a which is
commit 5ea30e4e58040cfd6434c2f33dc3ea76e2c15b05 upstream.

It shouldn't have been backported to 3.18, as we do not have
get_random_long() in that kernel tree.
