The Kconfig entry for zswap currently allows CRYPTO=m to satisfy the
zswap dependency. However zswap is boolean (i.e. built-in) and has
symbol dependencies on CRYPTO. Additionally, because the CRYPTO dependency
is satisfied with =m, the additional selects zswap does can also
be satisfied with =m, which leads to additional linking errors.

This patch makes CRYPTO a built-in dependency of ZSWAP. This has the
side effect of also making the selects built-in.

Andrew, please merge this into your mmotm ASAP as it fixes a demonstrable
build break.
