tracing/markers: make markers select tracepoints
Sometimes it happens that KConfig dependencies are not handled
like in the following scenario:
- config A
bool
- config B
bool
depends on A
- config C
bool
select B
If one selects C, then it will select B without checking its
dependency to A, if A hasn't been selected elsewhere, it will
result in a build failure.
This is what happens on the following build error:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range':
(.text+0x52f64): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_register_noupdate'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range':
(.text+0x52f74): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range':
(.text+0x52fb9): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probes':
marker.c:(.text+0x530ba): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_update_all'
CONFIG_KVM_TRACE will select CONFIG_MARKER, but the latter
depends on CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS which will not be selected.
