From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The PKRU hardware is permissive by default: all reads and writes are
allowed. The in-kernel policy is restrictive by default: deny all
unnecessary access until explicitly requested.
That policy can be modified with a debugfs file: "x86/init_pkru".
This file is created unconditionally, regardless of PKRU support in
the hardware, which is a little silly.
Avoid creating the file when pkeys are not available. This also
removes the need to check for pkey support at runtime, which would be
required once the new pkey modification infrastructure is put in place
later in this series.
