[PATCH] scripts/checkkconfig.py: find unused Kconfig parameters

[Michael Opdenacker]

This is the first version of a script to look for
Kconfig parameters which are still defined but no longer
used in the kernel source code.

The script may be extended in the future to perform
more checks. This explains why a rather generic name was chosen.

Several issues have already been reported and fixed
thanks to the use of this script. It is time to share it now!
