[PATCH v2] LOCKDEP: reduce LOCKDEP dependency list

Some arches (um, sparc64, riscv, xtensa) cause a Kconfig warning for
LOCKDEP.
These arch-es select LOCKDEP_SUPPORT but they are not listed as one
of the arch-es that LOCKDEP depends on.
Since (16) arch-es define the Kconfig symbol LOCKDEP_SUPPORT if they
intend to have LOCKDEP support, replace the awkward list of
arch-es that LOCKDEP depends on with the LOCKDEP_SUPPORT symbol.
But wait. LOCKDEP_SUPPORT is included in LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT,
which is already a dependency here, so LOCKDEP_SUPPORT is redundant
and not needed.
That leaves the FRAME_POINTER dependency, but it is part of an
expression like this:
depends on (A && B) && (FRAME_POINTER || B')
where B' is a dependency of B so if B is true then B' is true
and the value of FRAME_POINTER does not matter.
Thus we can also delete the FRAME_POINTER dependency.
Fixes this kconfig warning: (for um, sparc64, riscv, xtensa)
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for LOCKDEP
Depends on [n]: DEBUG_KERNEL [=y] && LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT [=y] && (FRAME_POINTER [=n] || MIPS || PPC || S390 || MICROBLAZE || ARM || ARC || X86)
Selected by [y]:
- PROVE_LOCKING [=y] && DEBUG_KERNEL [=y] && LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT [=y]
- LOCK_STAT [=y] && DEBUG_KERNEL [=y] && LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT [=y]
- DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC [=y] && DEBUG_KERNEL [=y] && LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT [=y]

@Julian: please take a look. I'm a little concerned about the
FRAME_POINTER dependency going away when our 2 patches are combined.
v2: drop depends on LOCKDEP_SUPPORT for LOCKDEP; the use of
LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT already covers that dependency;
drop FRAME_POINTER dependency (thanks to Waiman Long
for both of these suggestions)
v2: add CC: to linux-arch
