The select didn't exist on the branch on which the patch was applied, so
it couldn't remove it.

Commit 5bab6f60cb4 ("drm/i915: Serialise updates to GGTT with access
through GGTT on Braswel") depended upon a working stop_machine() and so
forced its selection. However, commit 86fffe4a61dd ("kernel: remove
stop_machine() Kconfig dependency") removed the option STOP_MACHINE from
init/Kconfig and ensured that stop_machine() universally works.
 
Remove this now obsolete select statement.
