[PATCH v3 2/2] proc: add Kconfigs to restrict /proc/pid/mem access

Some systems might have difficulty changing their bootloaders
to enable the newly added restrict_proc_mem* params, for e.g.
remote embedded doing OTA updates, so this provides a set of
Kconfigs to set /proc/pid/mem restrictions at build-time.
The boot params take precedence over the Kconfig values. This
can be reversed, but doing it this way I think makes sense.
Another idea is to have a global bool Kconfig which can enable
or disable this mechanism in its entirety, however it does not
seem necessary since all three knobs default to off, the branch
logic overhead is rather minimal and I assume most of systems
will want to restrict at least the use of FOLL_FORCE.
