ARM: 5883/1: Revert "disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels"



This reverts commit 14f0aa35.

That commit was needed earlier because system call restarting for
OABI (compat) required an executable stack and thus had problems
with NX.  Since ab72b007 ("ARM: Fix signal restart issues
with NX and OABI compat") has reworked the code to not require an
executable stack anymore, we can re-enable NX support for kernels
with OABI (compat) support.
