Subject: S390: KEYS: Enable the compat keyctl wrapper on s390x

From: David Howells <[email protected]>

commit 1d057720609ed052a6371fe1d53300e5e6328e94 upstream.

Enable the compat keyctl wrapper on s390x so that 32-bit s390 userspace can
call the keyctl() syscall.

There's an s390x assembly wrapper that truncates all the register values to
32-bits and this then calls compat_sys_keyctl() - but the latter only exists if
CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT is enabled, and the s390 Kconfig doesn't enable it.

Without this patch, 32-bit calls to the keyctl() syscall are given an ENOSYS
error:

        [root@devel4 ~]# keyctl show
        Session Keyring
        -3: key inaccessible (Function not implemented)
