ARM: 8198/1: make kuser helpers depend on MMU
The kuser helpers page is not set up on non-MMU systems, so it does
not make sense to allow CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS to be enabled when
CONFIG_MMU=n. Allowing it to be set on !MMU results in an oops in
set_tls (used in execve and the arm_syscall trap handler):

As best I can tell this issue existed for the set_tls ARM syscall
before commit fbfb872f5f41 "ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee
register state during exec" consolidated the TLS manipulation code
into the set_tls helper function, but now that we're using it to flush
register state during execve, !MMU users encounter the oops at the
first exec.
Prevent CONFIG_MMU=n configurations from enabling
CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS.
