Subject: [PATCH] genpt: Make GENERIC_PT invisible

There is no point in asking the user about the Generic Radix Page
Table API:
  - All IOMMU drivers that use this API already select GENERIC_PT when
    needed,
  - Most users probably do not know what to answer anyway.

Fixes: 7c5b184db7145fd4 ("genpt: Generic Page Table base API")
