[S390] mm: add devmem_is_allowed() for STRICT_DEVMEM checking 

Provide the devmem_is_allowed() routine to restrict access to
kernel memory from userspace.
Set the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM config option to switch on checking.

---help---
This option restricts access to /dev/mem. If this option is
disabled, you allow userspace access to all memory, including
kernel and userspace memory. Accidental memory access is likely
to be disastrous.
Memory access is required for experts who want to debug the kernel.
If you are unsure, say Y.
