As POE support was recently added, update the documentation.

Also note that kernel threads have a default protection key register value.

f8c1d4ca55 Documentation/protection-keys: Clean up documentation for User Space pkeys
The documentation for user space pkeys was a bit dated including things
such as Amazon and distribution testing information which is irrelevant
now.

Update the documentation.  This also streamlines adding the Supervisor
pkey documentation later on.

1eecbcdca2 docs: move protection-keys.rst to the core-api book
This document is used by multiple architectures:

	$ echo $(git grep -l  pkey_mprotect arch|cut -d'/' -f 2|sort|uniq)
	alpha arm arm64 ia64 m68k microblaze mips parisc powerpc s390 sh sparc x86 xtensa

So, let's move it to the core book and adjust the links to it
accordingly.
