x86: Increase brk randomness entropy for 64-bit systems
In commit c1d171a ("x86: randomize brk"), arch_randomize_brk() was defined to use a 32MB range (13 bits of entropy), but was never increased when moving to 64-bit. The default arch_randomize_brk() uses 32MB for 32-bit tasks, and 1GB (18 bits of entropy) for 64-bit tasks. Update x86_64 to match the entropy used by arm64 and other 64-bit architectures.
