Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: stop demanding lots of new stuff

"make oldconfig" from 4.14 (when CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
is not set) to 4.15-rc, gets into asking lots of new questions, and
configuring in unwanted stuff: I'm unsure of my Kconfig skills, but
it looks like CFG80211_REQUIRE_SIGNED_REGDB's "default y" needs to
be toned down when we don't even have CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS.
