CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT is defined in arch-specific Kconfigs and is missing for
several 64-bit architectures : arm64, mips, parisc, tile.

At the moment and for those architectures, calling in 32-bit userspace the
keyctl syscall would return an ENOSYS error.

This patch moves the CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT option to security/keys/Kconfig, to
make sure the compatibility wrapper is registered by default for any 64-bit
architecture as long as it is configured with CONFIG_COMPAT.
David, where can I find the git branch this patch was applied to?  I don't see
it anywhere in security-keys or linux-security.

I recently added KEYS_COMPAT to arm64 (5c2a625937ba); that should be reverted
after this patch.

Also, I'd like to submit a follow-on patch that removes KEYS_COMPAT and simply
uses COMPAT.

And the parisc architecture doesn't use compat_sys_keyctl() in its compat
syscall table, so that should be fixed too (though that's not a new bug).
