[wasm] Disable PKU on Linux kernels <5.13

Those versions are broken, and sporadically reset the PKRU register on
context switches (observed on ChromeOS only). This was fixed by this
patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210623121456.399107624@linutronix.de/

Thus we detect the running kernel version (once per process), and
disable PKU if we detect a potentially broken kernel version.
