Subject: x86/prctl/uapi: Remove #ifdef for CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

From: Dmitry Safonov <dsafonov@virtuozzo.com>

commit a01aa6c9f40fe03c82032e7f8b3bcf1e6c93ac0e upstream.

As userspace knows nothing about kernel config, thus #ifdefs
around ABI prctl constants makes them invisible to userspace.

Let it be clean'n'simple: remove #ifdefs.

If kernel has CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE disabled, sys_prctl()
will return -EINVAL for those prctls.
