kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP
Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was introduced by commit 89cde455915f ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec"). Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects KEXEC. That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want. In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified. CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version. Please see below link to get detail of the LKP report: https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's <asm/kexec.h> is wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope. That is wrong. CONFIG_KEXEC controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec feature. Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in <asm/kexec.h> of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP. Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.
