Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: undefined symbols can crash dependency loop
 detection

The Kconfig

config FOO
	bool "FOO" if BAR
	select BAR

has a dependency loop involving an undefined symbol BAR. This causes a
segfault in sym_check_print_recursive() as it assumes all symbols have a
non-null 'prop', which is not the case for undefined symbols. This is a
proposed fix.
