[PATCH] kconfig: suppress "configuration written to .config" for syncconfig

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Thu Aug 16 2018 - 03:49:37 EST


The top-level Makefile invokes "make syncconfig" when necessary.
Then, Kconfig displays the following message when .config is updated.

#
# configuration written to .config
#

It is distracting because "make syncconfig" happens during the build
stage, and does nothing important in most cases.
