[PATCH v3 12/13] s390/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

The kexec and crash kernel options are provided in the common
kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Utilize the common options and provide
the ARCH_SUPPORTS_ and ARCH_SELECTS_ entries to recreate the
equivalent set of KEXEC and CRASH options.

NOTE: The original Kconfig has a KEXEC_SIG which depends on
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT. However, attempts to keep the MODULE_SIG_FORMAT
dependency (using the strategy outlined in this series, and other
techniques) results in 'error: recursive dependency detected'
on CRYPTO.

Per Alexander Gordeev <agordeev at linux.ibm.com>: "the MODULE_SIG_FORMAT
dependency was introduced with [git commit below] and in fact was not
necessary, since s390 did/does not use mod_check_sig() anyway.

 commit c8424e776b09 ("MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions")

MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is needed to select SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION. But
SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION is also selected by FS_VERITY*, so dropping
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT does not hurt."

Therefore, the solution is to drop the MODULE_SIG_FORMAT dependency
from KEXEC_SIG. Still results in equivalent .config files for s390.
