Expose randomize_va_space in procfs with a static value of 2 (full randomization), matching gVisor's actual ASLR behavior. gVisor always applies full ASLR for user memory mappings, so we report the value 2 to match the actual behavior. This fixes programs(e.g. https://github.com/psf/pyperf) that read this file to collect ASLR metadata and fail with ENOENT when the file is missing. Signed-off-by: Tan Yifeng <yiftan@tencent.com>
