cheri: don't use dl_random for pointer mangling
Pointer mangling cannot be supported on capability architectures.
And there is not enough bytes in dl_random for 128 bit pointers.

Stack guard is still loaded from dl_random: stack protection is
unlikely to be useful on a capability architecture, but it works.
