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.
