The string allocated in sym_warn_unmet_dep() is never freed, leading
to a memory leak when an unmet dependency is detected.

This function was originally added by commit 8af27e1dc4e4 ("fixdep: use
hash table instead of a single array").

Move it to scripts/include/ so that other host programs can use it.

P_SYMBOL is a pseudo property that was previously used for data linking
purposes.

It is no longer used except for debug prints. Remove it.

<title>kconfig: recursive checks drop file/lineno</title>

This prevents segfault when getting filename and lineno in recursive
checks.

If the following snippet is found in Kconfig:

[Test code 1]

config FOO
        bool
        depends on BAR
        select BAR

... without BAR defined; then there is a segfault.

  Kconfig:34:error: recursive dependency detected!
  Kconfig:34:	symbol FOO depends on BAR
  make[4]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:85: allnoconfig] Segmentation fault

This is because of the following. BAR is a fake entry created by
sym_lookup() with prop being NULL. In the recursive check, there is a
NULL check for prop to fall back to stack-&gt;sym-&gt;prop if stack-&gt;prop is
NULL. However, in this case, stack-&gt;sym points to the fake BAR entry
created by sym_lookup(), so prop is still NULL. prop was then referenced
without additional NULL checks, causing segfault.

As the previous email thread suggests, the file and lineno for select is
also wrong:

[Test code 2]

config FOO
       bool

config BAR
       bool

config FOO
       bool "FOO"
       depends on BAR
       select BAR

  $ make defconfig
  *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
  Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected!
  Kconfig:1: symbol FOO depends on BAR
  Kconfig:4: symbol BAR is selected by FOO
  [...]

Kconfig:4 should be Kconfig:10.

This patch deletes the wrong and segfault-prone filename/lineno
inference completely. With this patch, Test code 1 yields:

error: recursive dependency detected!
	symbol FOO depends on BAR
	symbol BAR is selected by FOO
