[PATCH] ARM: fix XIP_KERNEL dependencies

CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL does not work with any option that involves patching
the read-only kernel .text.

Since at least CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP is required in certain configurations,
flip the dependency to always allow the .text patching options but make
XIP_KERNEL have the dependency instead.

This is a prerequisite for allowing CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM to
be disabled.
