BACKPORT: ARM: allow kuser helpers to be removed from the vector page
(cherry pick from commit f6f91b0d) Provide a kernel configuration option to allow the kernel user helpers to be removed from the vector page, thereby preventing their use with ROP (return orientated programming) attacks. This option is only visible for CPU architectures which natively support all the operations which kernel user helpers would normally provide, and must be enabled with caution.
