I don't believe this is a good enough reason to enable this heavy
setting.  The settings tells:

| Say N unless you really need all symbols, or kernel live patching.

We ship a complete set of symbols in our debug package and this is
enough for any debugging workflow.

Requiring this set to be compiled into the kernel itself is a sign of
tampering with the kernel itself.
