Series kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP |

Commit Message

  No proof is found to require that S390 architecture has to select
KEXEC. At least from my testing at below, dropping select of KEXEC won't
impact anything.

===testing 1===
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
===

===testing 2===
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
===

So drop the select of KEXEC now.

It does impact the outcome of defconfigs.
Namely, CONFIG_KEXEC is not set with this patch.

Unfortunately, I do not quite realize what these testings were
and what is the difference between the two.

I suggest dropping this patch. Once the previous two are upstream
we would remove 'select KEXEC' from Kconfig together with defconfig
updates.

Right, CONFIG_KEXEC won't be set defaultly with this patch applied.

Both these two testings have CONFIG_KEXEC=n, and building all passed.
I wound't present their difference, but two cases where no CONFIG_KEXEC
is set and no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC is seen.

I see your concern, will drop this one in v2. Thanks for checking these.
