powerpc/pkeys: Preallocate execute-only key
execute-only key is allocated dynamically. This is a problem. When a thread implicitly creates an execute-only key, and resets the UAMOR for that key, the UAMOR value does not percolate to all the other threads. Any other thread may ignorantly change the permissions on the key. This can cause the key to be not execute-only for that thread. Preallocate the execute-only key and ensure that no thread can change the permission of the key, by resetting the corresponding bit in UAMOR.
