Subject: ia64: make IA64_MCA_RECOVERY bool instead of tristate

In linux-next, IA64_MCA_RECOVERY uses the (new) function make_task_dead(),
which is not exported for use by modules.  Instead of exporting it for one
user, convert IA64_MCA_RECOVERY to be a bool Kconfig symbol.

In a config file from "kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>" for a different
problem, this linker error was exposed when CONFIG_IA64_MCA_RECOVERY=m.

Fixes this build error:

ERROR: modpost: "make_task_dead" [arch/ia64/kernel/mca_recovery.ko] undefined!

Fixes: 0e25498f8cd4 ("exit: Add and use make_task_dead.")
