Subject: [PATCH] Fix oprofile configuration breakage

The cleanup 09cadedbdc01f1a4bea1f427d4fb4642eaa19da9 broke the oprofile
configuration for MIPS by allowing oprofile support to be built for
kernel models where oprofile doesn't have a chance in hell to work.

Just a dependecy list on a number of architectures is - surprise - broken
and should as per past discussions probably in most considered to be
broken in most cases.  So I introduce a dependency for the oprofile
configuration on ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE.

Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@...ux-mips.org>

Since we're already in -rc4 I try to keep things minimally intrusive and
use ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE only for MIPS for now instead of touching a
dozen architectures.
