kconfig: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in conf_askvalue
In conf_askvalue(), the 'def' argument (retrieved via sym_get_string_value)
can be NULL. While current call sites ensure that 'def' is valid,
calling printf("%s\n", def) is technically undefined behavior and could
lead to a segmentation fault on certain libc implementations if the
function were called with a NULL pointer in the future.
Improve the robustness of conf_askvalue() by providing an empty string
as a fallback.
Additionally, remove the redundant re-initialization of the 'line'
buffer inside the !sym_is_changeable(sym) block, as it is already
properly initialized at the function entry.
