x86: reduce CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE bloat

Browse Source 
CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE bloats text:

i386 allmodconf: size mm/built-in.o
           text    data     bss     dec     hex         text ratio
vanilla: 163082   20372   40120  223574   36956          100.00%
bugfix : 163509   20372   40120  224001   36b01            0.26%
noppro : 162191   20372   40120  222683   365db         -  0.55%
both   : 162267   20372   40120  222759   36627         -  0.50% (+0.05% vs noppro)

So with the ppro memory ordering bug out of the way, the PG_uptodate fix
only adds 76 bytes of text.

allow this config to be specified by distros.

help
Old PentiumPro multiprocessor systems had errata that could cause memory
operations to violate the x86 ordering standard in rare cases. Enabling this
option will attempt to work around some (but not all) occurances of
this problem, at the cost of much heavier spinlock and memory barrier
operations.
If unsure, say n here. Even distro kernels should think twice before enabling
this: there are few systems, and an unlikely bug.
