Assortment of fixes to pkey to match its behavior to that on x86.

Patch 1  makes pkey consumable in multithreaded applications.

Patch 2  Deny, by default, permissions on all unallocated keys.

Patch 3  pkey allocation/free must not change pkey registers.

Patch 4  fixes fork to inherit the key attributes.

Patch 5  A off-by-one bug made one key unusable. Fixes it.

Patch 6  Makes pkey-0 less special.

Patch 7 fix to core-pkeys selftest to capture the modified behavior

Patch 8 fix to ptrace-pkeys selftest to capture the modified behavior

The above patch series is successfully verified using pkey selftests,
on both powerpc and x86.
