As I replied to Geert, unless there is a mandatory requirement
documented that "there is no point to make a Kconfig visible if there
is only one valid number".

I tend to avoid making EROFS Kconfig visibility depend on arbitrary
architecture Kconfig options such as SMP or !SMP; SMP here is due to
some arches make NR_CPUS = 0 if !SMP, but it doesn't need to bother
users why a EROFS kconfig visibility has some relationship with an arch
kconfig.
