[PATCH v2 11/12] x86/ftrace: enable dynamic ftrace without CONFIG_MODULES

From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt at kernel.org>

Dynamic ftrace must allocate memory for code and this was impossible
without CONFIG_MODULES.

With execmem separated from the modules code, execmem_text_alloc() is
available regardless of CONFIG_MODULES.

Remove dependency of dynamic ftrace on CONFIG_MODULES and make
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE select CONFIG_EXECMEM in Kconfig.
