In linux-next, IA64_MCA_RECOVERY uses the (new) function make_task_dead(),
which is not exported for use by modules. Instead of exporting it for
one user, convert IA64_MCA_RECOVERY to be a bool Kconfig symbol.
In a config file from "kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>" for a
different problem, this linker error was exposed when
CONFIG_IA64_MCA_RECOVERY=m.
Fixes this build error:
ERROR: modpost: "make_task_dead" [arch/ia64/kernel/mca_recovery.ko] undefined!
Fixes: 0e25498f8cd4 ("exit: Add and use make_task_dead.")

v1 was [PATCH -next] exit: export make_task_dead().
Christoph suggests and prefers that IA64 MCA recovery code just be
forced to be builtin if it is enabled.
