[PATCH] ARM: fix function graph tracer and unwinder dependencies

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Danilo Cezar Zanella reported broken function graph tracer in the v4.19
tree. This was caused by the backport of commit
   f9b58e8c7d031 ("ARM: 8800/1: use choice for kernel unwinders")

which ended in the v4.19-stable tree as of v4.19.222.
It is also part of v4.14-stable since v4.14.259.
It is also part of v4.9-stable since v4.9.299.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fix function graph tracer and unwinder dependencies

Upstream commit 503621628b32782a07b2318e4112bd4372aa3401

Naresh Kamboju recently reported that the function-graph tracer crashes
on ARM. The function-graph tracer assumes that the kernel is built with
frame pointers.

We explicitly disabled the function-graph tracer when building Thumb2,
since the Thumb2 ABI doesn't have frame pointers.

We recently changed the way the unwinder method was selected, which
seems to have made it more likely that we can end up with the function-
graph tracer enabled but without the kernel built with frame pointers.

Fix up the function graph tracer dependencies so the option is not
available when we have no possibility of having frame pointers, and
adjust the dependencies on the unwinder option to hide the non-frame
pointer unwinder options if the function-graph tracer is enabled.
