FRAME_POINTER is defined in lib/Kconfig.debug, it is unnecessary to redefine
it in arch/arm64/Kconfig.debug. Actually, the one defined in arm64 directory
is never used.
This adds a dependency on DEBUG_KERNEL for building with frame pointers.
ARM64 depends on frame pointer to get correct stack backtrace and need
FRAME_POINTER kconfig option enabled all the time.
However, currect implementation makes it could be disabled, so force it
to be selected by ARM64.
