if "CONFIG_DEV_COREDUMP=y" is added to configuration file, it gets removed when final configuration file is generated. The reason is it requires CONFIG_WANT_DEV_COREDUMP to be enabled.

Currently "make menuconfig" doesn't display an option to enable WANT_DEV_COREDUMP. This patch updates Kconfig so that user can enable WANT_DEV_COREDUMP.

This is completely intentional - drivers should "select WANT_DEV_COREDUMP" and users are only able to set "ALLOW_DEV_COREDUMP=n" to prevent it.
