x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt() optional

The modify_ldt syscall exposes a large attack surface and is
unnecessary for modern userspace.  Make it optional.

config MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL
bool "Enable the LDT (local descriptor table)" if EXPERT
default y
---help---
Linux can allow user programs to install a per-process x86
Local Descriptor Table (LDT) using the modify_ldt(2) system
call. This is required to run 16-bit or segmented code such as
DOSEMU or some Wine programs. It is also used by some very old
threading libraries.
Enabling this feature adds a small amount of overhead to
context switches and increases the low-level kernel attack
surface. Disabling it removes the modify_ldt(2) system call.
Saying 'N' here may make sense for embedded or server kernels.
