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.
