Subject: [PATCH net-next V2 01/11] net: Kconfig NET_DEVMEM selects GENERIC_ALLOCATOR

From: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@...dia.com>

GENERIC_ALLOCATOR is a non-prompt kconfig, meaning users can't enable it
selectively. All kconfig users of GENERIC_ALLOCATOR select it, except of
NET_DEVMEM which only depends on it, there is no easy way to turn
GENERIC_ALLOCATOR on unless we select other unnecessary configs that
will select it.

Instead of depending on it, select it when NET_DEVMEM is enabled.
