Using "depends on" and "select" for the same Kconfig symbol is known to
cause circular dependencies (cmp. "Kconfig recursive dependency
limitations" in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst.
DRM drivers are selecting drm helpers so do the same for
DRM_DEBUG_DP_MST_TOPOLOGY_REFS.
Fixes following circular dependency reported on x86 for the downstream
Asahi Linux tree:

error: recursive dependency detected!
symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER
symbol DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER is selected by RUST_DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER
symbol RUST_DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER is selected by DRM_ASAHI
symbol DRM_ASAHI depends on RUST
symbol RUST depends on CALL_PADDING
symbol CALL_PADDING depends on OBJTOOL
symbol OBJTOOL is selected by STACK_VALIDATION
symbol STACK_VALIDATION depends on UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER
symbol UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER is part of choice block at arch/x86/Kconfig.debug:224
symbol <choice> unknown is visible depending on UNWINDER_GUESS
symbol UNWINDER_GUESS prompt is visible depending on STACKDEPOT
symbol STACKDEPOT is selected by DRM_DEBUG_DP_MST_TOPOLOGY_REFS
symbol DRM_DEBUG_DP_MST_TOPOLOGY_REFS depends on DRM_KMS_HELPER
