    ARM64: mm: Fix build failure caused by invalid ifdef statement
    
    Commit 2e4614190421 ("arm64-mm-support-arch_mmap_rnd_bits-v4") caused the
    following build failure due to a missing "#". Fix this.
    
    arch/arm64/mm/mmap.c: In function ?arch_mmap_rnd?:
    arch/arm64/mm/mmap.c:54:1: error: ?ifdef? undeclared (first use in this function)
     ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
