[PATCH] s390: fix dead defaults for S390_MODULES_SANITY_TEST and S390_UNWIND_SELFTEST

From: Julian Braha

These config options currently have unconditional defaults of 'n' from the
def_tristate statement, which shadow the later default of
'KUNIT_ALL_TESTS', causing it to be dead code.

It looks to me like the commit 25d36a85c61b ("s390/test_unwind: convert to KUnit")
added the KUNIT_ALL_TESTS default to S390_UNWIND_SELFTEST, but mistakenly
didn't remove the previous 'n' default.

Then, the later commit 90c5318795ee ("s390/module: test loading modules with a lot of relocations")
copied the Kconfig layout from S390_UNWIND_SELFTEST when adding the
S390_MODULES_SANITY_TEST config option, without noticing the existing mistake.

This dead code was found by kconfirm, a static analysis tool for Kconfig.

Fixes: 25d36a85c61b ("s390/test_unwind: convert to KUnit")
Fixes: 90c5318795ee ("s390/module: test loading modules with a lot of relocations")
