kvm: replace __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM with Kconfig symbol

Browse Source 
KVM uses __KVM_HAVE_* symbols in the architecture-dependent uapi/asm/kvm.h to mask
unused definitions in include/uapi/linux/kvm.h.  __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM however
was nothing but a misguided attempt to define KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM only on
architectures where KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM) could possibly
return nonzero.  This however does not make sense, and it prevented userspace
from supporting this architecture-independent feature without recompilation.

Therefore, these days __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM does not mask anything and
is only used in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c.  Userspace does not need to test it
and there should be no need for it to exist.  Remove it and replace it
with a Kconfig symbol within Linux source code.
