x86/mm/pkeys: Add Kconfig option

I don't have a strong opinion on whether we need a Kconfig prompt
or not. Protection Keys has relatively little code associated
with it, and it is not a heavyweight feature to keep enabled.
However, I can imagine that folks would still appreciate being
able to disable it.

Note that, with disabled-features.h, the checks in the code

cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_PKU)
