From: Bilal Amarni bilal.amarni@gmail.com
commit 47b2c3fff4932e6fc17ce13d51a43c6969714e20 upstream.
CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT is defined in arch-specific Kconfigs and is missing for several 64-bit architectures : mips, parisc, tile.
At the moment and for those architectures, calling in 32-bit userspace the keyctl syscall would return an ENOSYS error.
This patch moves the CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT option to security/keys/Kconfig, to make sure the compatibility wrapper is registered by default for any 64-bit architecture as long as it is configured with CONFIG_COMPAT.
[DH: Modified to remove arm64 compat enablement also as requested by Eric Biggers]
