[PATCH v16 08/42] x86_64, dept: add support CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DEPT_SUPPORT to x86_64

dept needs to notice every entrance from user to kernel mode to treat
every kernel context independently when tracking wait-event dependencies.
Roughly, system call and user oriented fault are the cases.

Make dept aware of the entrances of x86_64 and add support
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DEPT_SUPPORT to x86_64.
