[PATCH] kmemleak: build kmemleak-test.c as a module-only
From: Daniel Baluta
Date: Wed Mar 16 2011 - 14:18:47 EST
mm/kmemleak-test.c is used to provide an example of how kmemleak
tool works.
Memory is leaked at module unload-time, so building the test
in kernel (Y) makes the leaks impossible and the test useless.
Qualify DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST config symbol with "depends on m",
to restrict module-only building.

- Say Y or M here to build a test for the kernel memory leak
- detector. This option enables a module that explicitly leaks
- memory.
