ARM: 8198/1: make kuser helpers depend on MMU
The kuser helpers page is not set up on non-MMU systems, so it does not make sense to allow CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS to be enabled when CONFIG_MMU=n. Allowing it to be set on !MMU results in an oops in set_tls (used in execve and the arm_syscall trap handler): Unhandled exception: IPSR = 00000005 LR = fffffff1 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.18.0-rc1-00041-ga30465a #216 task: 8b838000 ti: 8b82a000 task.ti: 8b82a000 PC is at flush_thread+0x32/0x40 LR is at flush_thread+0x21/0x40 pc : [<8f00157a>] lr : [<8f001569>] psr: 4100000b sp : 8b82be20 ip : 00000000 fp : 8b83c000 r10: 00000001 r9 : 88018c84 r8 : 8bb85000 r7 : 8b838000 r6 : 00000000 r5 : 8bb77400 r4 : 8b82a000 r3 : ffff0ff0 r2 : 8b82a000 r1 : 00000000 r0 : 88020354 xPSR: 4100000b CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.18.0-rc1-00041-ga30465a #216 [<8f002bc1>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<8f002033>] (show_stack+0xb/0xc) [<8f002033>] (show_stack) from [<8f00265b>] (__invalid_entry+0x4b/0x4c) As best I can tell this issue existed for the set_tls ARM syscall before commit fbfb872f5f41 "ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee register state during exec" consolidated the TLS manipulation code into the set_tls helper function, but now that we're using it to flush register state during execve, !MMU users encounter the oops at the first exec. Prevent CONFIG_MMU=n configurations from enabling CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS.
