[1/2] prctl: Generalize PR_SET_MDWE support check to be per-arch

Commit Message

There exist systems other than PARISC where MDWE may not be feasible
to support; rather than cluttering up the generic code with additional
arch-specific logic let's add a generic function for checking MDWE
support and allow each arch to override it as needed.
