[patch 1/3] Kconfig: Introduce CHECKPOINT_RESTORE symbol

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

In a sake of checkpoint/restore we need auxilary
features being compiled into the kernel, such as additional
prctl codes, /proc/<pid>/map_files and etc...
but same time these features are not mandatory for a
regular kernel so CHECKPOINT_RESTORE config symbol should
bring a way to disable them all at once if one wish to get
rid of additional functionality.
