Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: Update config changed flag before calling callback

Prior to commit 5ee546594025 ("kconfig: change sym_change_count to a
boolean flag"), the conf_updated flag was set to the new value *before*
calling the callback. xconfig's save action depends on this behaviour,
because xconfig calls conf_get_changed() directly from the callback and
now sees the old value, thus never enabling the save button or the
shortcut.

Restore the previous behaviour.

Fixes: 5ee546594025 ("kconfig: change sym_change_count to a boolean flag")
