ARM: implement CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM by disabling access to RAM via /dev/mem

Browse Source 
There are very few legitimate use cases, if any, for directly accessing
system RAM through /dev/mem.  So let's mimic what they do on x86 and
forbid it when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is turned on.

If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
be used by people debugging the kernel.
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.
If in doubt, say Y.
