kmemcheck: make kconfig accessible for other architectures
The Kconfig options of kmemcheck are hidden under arch/x86 which makes porting
to other architectures harder. To fix that, move the Kconfig bits to
lib/Kconfig.kmemcheck and introduce a CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KMEMCHECK config option
that architectures can define.

+ This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory
+ to see if memory is used before it has been given an initial value.
+ Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and
+ will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory
+ thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected).
+
+ The kernel may be started with kmemcheck=0 or kmemcheck=1 to disable
+ or enable kmemcheck at boot-time. If the kernel is started with
+ kmemcheck=0, the large memory and CPU overhead is not incurred.
