[PATCH] Kconfig: drop bogus default values

[Jan Beulich]

Default "no" is pretty pointless for options without (visible) prompts:
They only clutter .config-s with "# CONFIG_... is not set" and thus
prevent users of "make oldconfig", when the option obtains a prompt or
its prompt becomes visible, noticing that these may now be enabled.
