We can't seem to have a kernel with CONFIG_EXPERT set but
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL unset these days.
While some of the features under the CONFIG_EXPERT require
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, it doesn't apply for all features.
The meaning of CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL has been
mixed here.
It looks like CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is the only feature that
requires CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. Move the CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL
selection to where it really is needed.
