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.

No, please. :)

Just use use the _MAYBE/_maybe variants of the static branch DECLAREs and
branches, and make Kconfigs for:

CONFIG_PROC_MEM_RESTRICT_READ_DEFAULT
CONFIG_PROC_MEM_RESTRICT_WRITE_DEFAULT
CONFIG_PROC_MEM_RESTRICT_FOLL_FORCE_DEFAULT

Like:

DECLARE_STATIC_KEY_MAYBE(CONFIG_PROC_MEM_RESTRICT_READ_DEFAULT, proc_mem_restrict_read);

and then later:

	if (static_branch_maybe(CONFIG_PROC_MEM_RESTRICT_READ_DEFAULT,
				&proc_mem_restrict_read))
		...


Then all builds of the kernel will have it available, but system
builders who want it enabled by default will get a slightly more
optimized "if".
