mm/pkey: Add PKEY_UNRESTRICTED macro

Memory protection keys (pkeys) uapi has two macros for pkeys restrictions:

 - PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS 0x1
 - PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE  0x2

with implicit literal value of 0x0 that means "unrestricted". Code that
works with pkeys has to use this literal value when implying that a pkey
imposes no restrictions. This may reduce readability because 0 can be
written in various ways (e.g. 0x0 or 0) and also because 0 in the context
of pkeys can be mistaken for "no permissions" (akin PROT_NONE) while it
actually means "no restrictions". This is important because pkeys are
oftentimes used near mprotect() that uses PROT_ macros.

This patch adds PKEY_UNRESTRICTED macro defined as 0x0.
