mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add arch_validate_pkey()

The syscall-level code is passed a protection key and need to
return an appropriate error code if the protection key is bogus.
We will be using this in subsequent patches.

Note that this also begins a series of arch-specific calls that
we need to expose in otherwise arch-independent code.  We create
a linux/pkeys.h header where we will put *all* the stubs for
these functions.
