This is really irritating. We save 287 bytes in kernels which don't
use bitrev. It isn't worth the hassle, but let's keep plugging.

Subject: lib/Kconfig: ZLIB_DEFLATE must select BITREVERSE

lib/built-in.o: In function `__bitrev32':
deftree.c:(.text+0x1e799): undefined reference to `byte_rev_table'
deftree.c:(.text+0x1e7a0): undefined reference to `byte_rev_table'
deftree.c:(.text+0x1e7b4): undefined reference to `byte_rev_table'
deftree.c:(.text+0x1e7c1): undefined reference to `byte_rev_table'

Anything which uses bitrevX() has to select BITREVERSE, to grab
lib/bitrev.o.
