Please remove all "CET", "cet", etc strings from the text as that is
confusing. We should use either shadow stack or IBT and not CET.

Do I see it correctly that this thing is needed only once in
show_smap_vma_flags()?

If so, can we do a arch_show_smap_vma_flags(), call it at the end of
former function and avoid adding yet another Kconfig symbol?

Thx.
