[RFC PATCH 1/2] libnvdimm: Add prctl control for disabling synchronous fault support.

With POWER10, architecture is adding new pmem flush and sync instructions.
The kernel should prevent the usage of MAP_SYNC if applications are not using
the new instructions on newer hardware.

This patch adds a prctl option MAP_SYNC_ENABLE that can be used to enable
the usage of MAP_SYNC. The kernel config option is added to allow the user
to control whether MAP_SYNC should be enabled by default or not.
