Subject: [PATCH] scripts/kconfig/menu.c warning for uninitialized "jump"

This warning was found in v3.18-rc3-68-g20f3963 of Linus git-tree.

  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
In file included from scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c:2537:0:
scripts/kconfig/menu.c: In function ‘get_symbol_str’:
scripts/kconfig/menu.c:590:18: warning: ‘jump’ may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
     jump->offset = strlen(r->s);
                  ^
scripts/kconfig/menu.c:551:19: note: ‘jump’ was declared here
  struct jump_key *jump;
                   ^
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/util.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/inputbox.o


The patch is provided below, to put in the extra checks for jump, and
it also added extra brackets to make the logical expression less
cryptic.
