[PATCH] kconfig: fix make oldconfig

 This seems to make "make oldconfig" a _lot_ more verbose than it
 used to be. In a very annoying way.

 I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4c030
 ("kconfig: use long options in conf") by Sam Ravnborg. Apparently that
 thing is totally buggy, and doesn't just change the option names, but
 actively breaks them.

The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident.
Fix this so we are back to the version that are silent
if there is nothing to ask about.

Sorry for this regression. Dunno how I missed it.
I guess I only tested "silentoldconfig".

Following patch seems obviously correct but as I am on the way
out of the door I could not do much testing.
