ARM: mpu: Allow enabling of the MPU via kconfig
Allows the user to select MPU support when compiling for ARM processors
that support the PMSAv7.
This ensures that CONFIG_SMP depends on the MPU in the case that no MMU
is present.
CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP is not implemented for nommu, so introduce an MMU
dependency there.
