[RFC] powerpc: add sys_pkey_modify() system call

sys_pkey_modify()  is   powerpc  specific  system  call.  It
enables  the ability to modify *any* attribute of a key.

Since powerpc disallows modification of IAMR from user space
an application is unable to change a key's execute-attribute.

This system call helps accomplish the above.
