[PATCH] powerpc: don't select KFENCE on platform PPC_FSL_BOOK3E

On platform PPC_FSL_BOOK3E, all lowmem is managed by tlbcam. That means
we didn't really map the kfence pool with page granularity. Therefore,
if KFENCE is enabled, the system will hit the following panic:

    BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000000
