brk: make sys_brk() honor COMPAT_BRK when computing lower bound

brk: check the lower bound properly
The check in sys_brk() on minimum value the brk might have must take
CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK setting into account. When this option is turned on
(i.e. we support ancient legacy binaries, e.g. libc5-linked stuff), the
lower bound on brk value is mm->end_code, otherwise the brk start is
allowed to be arbitrarily shifted.
