Subject: [PATCH 4/4] kconfig: improve readout when we hit recursive dependencies

Following sample:
    config TEST1
            bool
            depends on TEST2 && PCI
            select TEST2

    config TEST2
            bool

Will result in the following output:

    Kconfig:1:error: found recursive dependency:
                TEST1
             -> TEST2 (arch/x86/Kconfig:6)
             -> TEST1 (arch/x86/Kconfig:1)

The sample above gave a segmentation fault
which is also fixed by this patch.
