Subject: [RESEND][PATCH] zswap: fix Kconfig to depend on CRYPTO=y

The Kconfig entry for zswap currently allows CRYPTO=m to satisfy the
zswap dependency.  However zswap is boolean (i.e. built-in) and has
symbol dependencies on CRYPTO.  Additionally, because the CRYPTO dependency
is satisfied with =m, the additional selects zswap does can also
be satisfied with =m, which leads to additional linking errors.

>From the report:
=====
tree:   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git since-3.9
head:   57cefddb141d6c9d0ab4f5a8589dd017f796a3f7
commit: 563f51c95b552e0d663df5bdf6cfc8e8a72d3ec6 [494/499] zswap: add to mm/
config: x86_64-randconfig-x004-0619 (attached as .config)

All error/warnings:

   mm/built-in.o: In function `zswap_frontswap_invalidate_area':
>> zswap.c:(.text+0x3a705): undefined reference to `zbud_free'
   mm/built-in.o: In function `zswap_free_entry':
>> zswap.c:(.text+0x3a76b): undefined reference to `zbud_free'
>> zswap.c:(.text+0x3a789): undefined reference to `zbud_get_pool_size'
on and on...
=====

This patch makes CRYPTO a built-in dependency of ZSWAP.  This has the
side effect of also making the selects built-in.

Andrew, please merge this into your mmotm ASAP as it fixes a demonstrable
build break.
