Subject: [PATCH 4.19 010/293] ARM: 8918/2: only build return_address() if needed

From: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@...ff.org>

commit fb033c95c94ca1ee3d16e04ebdb85d65fb55fff8 upstream.

The system currently warns if the config conditions for
building return_address in arch/arm/kernel/return_address.c
are not met, leaving just an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(return_address)
of a function defined to be 'static linline'.
This is a result of aeea3592a13b ("ARM: 8158/1: LLVMLinux: use static inline in ARM ftrace.h").

Since we're not going to build anything other than an exported
symbol for something that is already being defined to be an
inline-able return of NULL, just avoid building the code to
remove the following warning:
