x86/mm/pkeys: Add Kconfig prompt to existing config option
I don't have a strong opinion on whether we need this 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.
Here's the option if folks want it.
