Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: restore prompt dependencies in help text

Commit bcdedcc1afd6 ("menuconfig: print more info for symbol without
prompts") moved some code from get_prompt_str to get_symbol_str so that
dependency information for symbols without prompts could be shown.

This code would be better copied rather than moved, as the change had
the side-effect of not showing any extra dependencies that the prompt
might have over the symbol.

Put back a copy of the dependency printing code in get_prompt_str.

The following is an example for NAMESPACES:

Before:
	Symbol: NAMESPACES [=y]
	Type  : bool
	Prompt: Namespaces support
	  Location:
	(2) -> General setup
	  Defined at init/Kconfig:1064
	  Depends on: MULTIUSER [=y]

After:
	Symbol: NAMESPACES [=y]
	Type  : bool
	Prompt: Namespaces support
	  Editable if: MULTIUSER [=y] && EXPERT [=y]
	  Location:
	(2) -> General setup
	  Defined at init/Kconfig:1064
	  Depends on: MULTIUSER [=y]

Fixes: bcdedcc1afd6 ("menuconfig: print more info for symbol without prompts")
