This is a behavior change of nios2.

TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT was previously 'n',
and this commit is changing it to 'y'.




Strangely, nios2 defines TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT twice
with different default values.

In Kconfig, the first one becomes effective.

In this case, 'def_bool n' in arch/nios2/Kconfig is used.
'def_bool y' in arch/nios2/Kconfig.debug is dead code.


I think this select should be dropped
to keep the current behavior,
but I hope the NIOS2 maintainer will give us
some comments just in case.
