Userspace loaders may lock features before a CRIU restore operation has
the chance to set them to whatever state is required by the process
being restored. Allow a way for CRIU to unlock features. Add it as an
arch_prctl() like the other CET operations, but restrict it being called
by the ptrace arch_pctl() interface.
Hrm, please make this build-depend on CRIU...
