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.

- help
- 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.

- help
- Select the maximum number of errors to store in the queue. Since
- errors can occur virtually anywhere and in any context, we need a
- temporary storage area which is guarantueed not to generate any
- other faults. The queue will be emptied as soon as a tasklet may
