[PATCH] Disable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS when not needed byCONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL

[Josh Triplett]

CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS controls support for running constructor functions
at kernel init time.  According to commit
b99b87f70c7785ab1e253c6220f4b0b57ce3a7f7, gcov (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL)
needs this.  However, CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS currently defaults to y, with
no option to disable it, and CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL depends on it.  Instead,
default it to n and have CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL select it, so that the
normal case of CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n will result in
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=n.

Observed in the short list of =y values in a minimal kernel
configuration.
