[PATCH hmm 1/5] mm/hmm: make CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE into a select

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg at mellanox.com>

There is no reason for a user to select this or not directly - it should
be selected by drivers that are going to use the feature, similar to how
CONFIG_HMM_MIRROR works.

Currently all drivers provide a feature kconfig that will disable use of
DEVICE_PRIVATE in that driver, allowing users to avoid enabling this if
they don't want the overhead.
