I had several (4 of 50) randconfig builds fail with:

lib/built-in.o: In function `__nla_reserve_nohdr':
(.text+0xd08d): undefined reference to `skb_put'
lib/built-in.o: In function `__nla_reserve':
(.text+0xd121): undefined reference to `skb_put'
lib/built-in.o: In function `nla_append':
(.text+0xd493): undefined reference to `skb_put'

which happens with CONFIG_NET=n, CONFIG_CRYPTO=y, CONFIG_CRYPTO_ZLIB=[my].

CRYPTO_ZLIB selects NLATTR, but obviously the build of nlattr.c fails
when CONFIG_NET=n. Should CRYPTO_ZLIB depend on NET?
Please don't say that CRYPTO_ZLIB should select NET.
