Subject: [PATCH V9 33/45] mm/pkeys: Add pks_available()

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

If PKS is configured within the kernel but the CPU does not support PKS,
the PKS calls remain safe to execute even without protection.  However,
adding the overhead of these calls on CPUs which don't support PKS is
inefficient and best avoided.

Define pks_available() to allow users to check if PKS is enabled on the
current system.

The implementation of pks_available() is placed in the asm headers while
being directly exported via linux/pks.h to allow for the inline calling
of cpu_feature_enabled() by consumers outside of the architecture.

Signed-off-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

Changes for V9
	Driven by a request by Dan Williams to make this static inline
		Place this in pks.h to avoid header conflicts while
		allowing for an optimized call to cpu_feature_enabled()
