You can't do this: a symbol designed to be selected can't depend on
other symbols because Kconfig doesn't see the dependencies during
select.  We even have a doc for this now:

Documentation/kbuild/Kconfig.select-break

The only way to get this to work would be to have the long name symbol
select both IMA and IMA_ARCH_POLICY, which doesn't seem to be what you
want either.

Looking at what you're trying to do, I think making the symbol
independent of IMA and IMA_ARCH_POLICY is the correct thing, then
enforce the dependencies inside the outer #ifdef, but I haven't looked
deeply at the code.
