Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Don't let LATENCYTOP and LOCKDEP select KALLSYMS_ALL

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

KALLSYMS_ALL enables including data variables into KALLSYMS.
With plain KALLSYMS only functions are included.

LATENCYTOP and LOCKDEP select KALLSYMS_ALL in addition to KALLSYMS.
It's unclear what they actually need _ALL for; they should
only need function backtraces and afaik never touch variables.

LTO currently does not support KALLSYMS_ALL, which prevents
LATENCYTOP and LOCKDEP from working and gives Kconfig errors.
Disable the requirement for KALLSYMS_ALL for them, just use
KALLSYMS.
