Subject: [PATCH 5/5] kconfig: limit IS_ENABLED & similar to CPP usage

Using IS_ENABLED() within C (vs. within CPP #if statements) requires
us to actually define every possible bool/tristate Kconfig option
twice (__enabled_* and __enabled_*_MODULE variants).

Commit 953742c8fe8ac45be453fee959d7be40cd89f920

  "kconfig: fix __enabled_ macros definition for invisible
   and un-selected symbols"

caused the autoconf.h file to grow by a large factor, since it
now defined tens of thousands(!) of __enabled_CONFIG* items.

With the few C users that crept in over the last couple of releases
gone, we can now limit these items to be just for CPP usage.  And
in doing so, just emit lines where the options are really enabled
as modules or built in.

In doing so, the defconfig x86_64 autoconf.h size drops significantly:

	before:	15934 of 16943 total are __enabled_CONFIG* lines
	after:	943 of 1952 total are __enabled_CONFIG* lines

The numbers for x86_64 allnoconfig are even more drastic:

	before:	15934 of 16200 total are __enabled_CONFIG* lines
	after:	224 of 490 total are __enabled_CONFIG* lines
