kconfig: fix conditional prompt behavior for choice
When a prompt is followed by "if <expr>", the symbol is configurable
when the if-conditional evaluates to true.
A typical usage is as follows:
menuconfig BLOCK
bool "Enable the block layer" if EXPERT
default y
When EXPERT=n, the prompt is hidden, but this config entry is still
active, and BLOCK is set to its default value 'y'. When EXPERT=y, the
prompt is shown, making BLOCK a user-configurable option.
This usage is common throughout the kernel tree, but it has never worked
within a choice block.
[Test Code]
config EXPERT
bool "Allow expert users to modify more options"
choice
prompt "Choose" if EXPERT
config A
bool "A"
config B
bool "B"
endchoice
[Result]
# CONFIG_EXPERT is not set
When the prompt is hidden, the choice block should produce the default
without asking for the user's preference. Hence, the output should be:
# CONFIG_EXPERT is not set
CONFIG_A=y
# CONFIG_B is not set
Removing unnecessary hacks fixes the issue.
This commit also changes the behavior of 'select' by choice members.
