[PATCH 1/2] UBIFS: do not select KALLSYMS_ALL

From: Artem Bityutskiy

All UBIFS needs is to make sure we stacktraces when UBIFS debugging
is enabled. It is enough to select KALLSYMS for this, KALLSYMS_ALL
is not necessary. Moreover, Randy Dunlap reported that UBIFS causes
the following Kconfig dependency warning:

warning: (UBIFS_FS_DEBUG && LOCKDEP && LATENCYTOP) selects KALLSYMS_ALL
which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS)

The reason is that KALLSYMS_ALL requires DEBUG_KERNEL and KALLSYMS, so
ideally, to select KALLSYMS_ALL we'd need to select DEBUG_KERNEL and
KALLSYMS first.

This seems to be too much to select. The easiest way to go is to forget
about KALLSYMS_ALL and just select KALLSYMS when UBIFS debugging is
enabled - that should be enough for stackdumps.
