kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP

Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde455915f ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec").  Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC.  After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC.  That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.

In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.

CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version.  Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:

    https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u

In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's <asm/kexec.h> is
wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope.  That is wrong.  CONFIG_KEXEC
controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec
feature.  Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in
<asm/kexec.h> of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP. 
Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o
relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.
