This is the magic way in Kconfig to express what we want ;-)

It says it depends on either HWSPINLOCK being disabled (!HWSPINLOCK),
or it depends on HWSPINLOCK. The latter implies that QCOM_SMEM cannot
be built-in when HWSPINLOCK=m, but they are allowed to both be built-in.

The problem here is that while we avoid the build error, we get the
counterintuitive behavior that you can have the HWSPINLOCK module
loaded but the built-in QCOM_SMEM module does not use it because
it wasn't reachable at compile time.

This would not solve the randconfig build problem.
