This reverts commit 14f0aa359365e8a93a77b71e3b840274b9b4dcb1.

That commit was needed earlier because system call restarting for
OABI (compat) required an executable stack and thus had problems
with NX.  Since ab72b00734ae4d0b ("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.
