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
74ca317c26a3f ("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.
