mm/secretmem: make it on by default

Following the discussion about direct map fragmentaion at LSF/MM [1], it
appears that direct map fragmentation has a negligible effect on kernel
data accesses.  Since the only reason that warranted secretmem to be
disabled by default was concern about performance regression caused by the
direct map fragmentation, it makes perfect sense to lift this restriction
and make secretmem enabled.

secretmem obeys RLIMIT_MEMBLOCK and as such it is not expected to cause
large fragmentation of the direct map or meaningfull increase in page
tables allocated during split of the large mappings in the direct map.

The secretmem.enable parameter is retained to allow system administrators
to disable secretmem at boot.

Switch the default setting of secretmem.enable parameter to 1.
