Subject: [PATCH] kmod: add dependencies for test module

When we try to 'select' drivers whose dependencies are not met,
we get a kconfig warning and undefined behavior as further 'select'
statements in those drivers can not be honored:

warning: (TEST_KMOD) selects TUN which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && NET_CORE && INET)
warning: (TEST_KMOD) selects XFS_FS which has unmet direct dependencies (BLOCK && (64BIT || LBDAF))
ERROR: "iomap_zero_range" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "iomap_fiemap" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "iomap_page_mkwrite" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined!

To work around that, this adds the dependencies required by the
'tun', 'xfs' and 'btrfs' modules for CONFIG_TEST_KMOD, guaranteeing
that we can always enable those, and fixing the 'randconfig' issues.

Unfortunately, there is another problem that I have not found a
good solution for: If any of the three drivers are built-in rather
than loadable modules, then the module load test will later fail
at runtime.

Fixes: ec159fed8677 ("kmod: add test driver to stress test the module loader")
