mtd: phram,slram: Disable when the kernel is locked down

Forwarded: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20190830154720.eekfjt6c4jzvlbfz@decadent.org.uk/

These drivers allow mapping arbitrary memory ranges as MTD devices.
This should be disabled to preserve the kernel's integrity when it is
locked down.

* Add the HWPARAM flag to the module parameters
* When slram is built-in, it uses __setup() to read kernel parameters,
  so add an explicit check security_locked_down() check
