[PATCH 3/6] kconfig: do not call conf_set_all_new_symbols() for (all)defconfig

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Wed Jan 10 2018 - 01:57:46 EST


(all)defconfig does not need to call conf_set_all_new_symbols() because
conf_write() calculates all symbols based on their default unless they
have been user-defined.

conf_set_all_new_symbols(def_default) is no-op except for "choice".
It calls sym_cal_value() for "choice", but the SYMBOL_VALID is cleared
by set_all_choice_values() later on. So, conf_write() will re-calculate
it, which is just a wasteful computation. The only difference I see
is SYMBOL_DEF_USER flag for "choice", but it gives no difference to the
resulted .config file.

I confirmed this change still produced the same .config for all ARCH.

I also moved savedefconfig to collect the no-op cases at the end of
the switch statement.
