Arnd Bergmann e63bde3d94 kexec: select CRYPTO from KEXEC_FILE instead of depending on it
All other users of crypto code use 'select' instead of 'depends on', so do
the same thing with KEXEC_FILE for consistency.

In practice this makes very little difference as kernels with kexec
support are very likely to also include some other feature that already
selects both crypto and crypto_sha256, but being consistent here helps for
usability as well as to avoid potential circular dependencies.

This reverts the dependency back to what it was originally before commit
74ca317c26 ("kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for
new syscall"), which changed changed it with the comment "This should be
safer as "select" is not recursive", but that appears to have been done in
error, as "select" is indeed recursive, and there are no other
dependencies that prevent CRYPTO_SHA256 from being selected here.

README

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
