From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dbecf9b8b8ce580f4e11afed9d61e8aa294cddd2 upstream.
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!
Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220124213129.29306-1-rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: 0e25498f8cd4 ("exit: Add and use make_task_dead.")
