[PATCH] stm: add configfs dependency

[PATCH] stm: add configfs dependency

[Arnd Bergmann]

There are three new stm modules, all of which use configfs for configuration.
If configfs is not part of the kernel, or is a loadable module while
the stm driver is builtin, we get a link error like:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `stp_policy_node_drop':
drivers/hwtracing/stm/policy.c:232: undefined reference to `config_item_put'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `stp_policies_make':
drivers/hwtracing/stm/policy.c:352: undefined reference to `config_group_init_type_name'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `stp_policy_node_make':
drivers/hwtracing/stm/policy.c:215: undefined reference to `config_group_init_type_name'

This adds explicit Kconfig dependencies to ensure configfs is present.

The patches are currently in Greg's char-misc tree, we should have
this one in the same branch.

It's better to do a select here, like other drivers do, I have a patch
in my queue to do that, I'll queue it up now.
