Ignat Korchagin c41bd25141 kexec: drop dependency on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC from CRASH_DUMP

In commit f8ff23429c62 ("kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for
CRASH_DUMP") we tried to fix a config regression, where CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
required CONFIG_KEXEC.

However, it was not enough at least for arm64 platforms.  While further
testing the patch with our arm64 config I noticed that CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
is unavailable in menuconfig.  This is because CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP still
depends on the new CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC introduced in commit
91506f7e5d21 ("arm64/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec") and on
arm64 CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC requires CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP=y, which in
turn requires either CONFIG_SUSPEND=y or CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y neither of
which are set in our config.

Given that we already established that CONFIG_KEXEC (which is a switch for
kexec system call itself) is not required for CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP drop
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC dependency as well.  The arm64 kernel builds
just fine with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y and with both CONFIG_KEXEC=n and
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=n after f8ff23429c62 ("kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select
of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP") and this patch are applied given that the
necessary shared bits are included via CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE dependency.
