Subject: Make DST_CACHE a silent config option

From: Dave Jones <[email protected]>

commit 9b246841f4041f85265dec5f769c017fc36a0d33 upstream.

commit 911362c70d ("net: add dst_cache support") added a new kconfig option that gets selected by other networking options. It seems the intent wasn't to offer this as a user-selectable option given the lack of help text, so this patch converts it to a silent option.
