Make it possible to reduce the attack surface in case the snapshot
device is not to be used from userspace.

v2:
 - the option is enabled by default (it was disabled by default)
 - remove the premature "DEPRECATED" marking
 - drop the redefinition of mutual exclusion helpers (in v2 they are
   owned by hibernte.c) in case the option is deselected
 - add the help message to the config option
