Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: merge_config: avoid false positive matches from comment lines

The current SED_CONFIG_EXP could match to comment lines in config
fragment files, especially when CONFIG_PREFIX_ is empty. For example,
Buildroot uses empty prefixing; starting symbols with BR2_ is just
convention.

Make the sed expression more robust against false positives from
comment lines. The new sed expression matches to config options
followed by '=' or ' is not set'.
