[PATCH] Unhide DEBUG_RODATA if EXPERT, even if DEBUG_KERNEL=n

[Josh Triplett]

CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA defaults to y.  Embedded systems might want to
disable this to save space; however, disabling it requires enabling
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to see it.  Unhide it for CONFIG_EXPERT=y as well,
so it shows up as an option for embedded users without having to turn on
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.

On a related note, I noticed while making this patch that
DEBUG_RODATA_TEST defaults to y, as of commit
72370f2a5b227bd3817593a6b15ea3f53f51dfcb; however, the description says
"If in doubt, say N".  Should the default change, or should the
description?  DEBUG_RODATA_TEST seems like the kind of thing that should
default to n.
