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.

274 | This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory | ||

276 | Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and | ||
277 | will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory | ||
278 | thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected). | ||
