Subject: devmem, x86: fix rename of CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org>

CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM was a rather confusing name - but renaming it
to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM causes problems on architectures that do not
support this feature; this patch renames it to CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM,
so that architectures can opt-in into it.

( the polarity of the option is still the same as it was originally; it
  needs to be for now to not break architectures that don't have the
  infastructure yet to support this feature)
