Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: Prevent segfault when getting filename

... and lineno in recursive checks.

If the following snippet is found in Kconfig:

config FOO
        tristate
        depends on BAR
        select BAR
        help
          foo

... without BAR defined; then if one runs
`make tinyconfig`, there is a segfault.

  Kconfig:34:error: recursive dependency detected!
  Kconfig:34:	symbol FOO depends on BAR
  make[4]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:85: allnoconfig] Segmentation fault

This is because of the following. BAR is
a fake entry created by sym_lookup() with prop
being NULL. In the recursive check, there is a
NULL check for prop to fall back to
stack->sym->prop if stack->prop is NULL. However,
in this case, stack->sym points to the fake BAR
entry created by sym_lookup(), so prop is still
NULL. prop was then referenced without additional
NULL checks, causing segfault.

Similarly, menu is also accessed without NULL
checks. However, sym_lookup() creates entry
that is not a choice, so technically it shouldn't
fall into the state where menu is NULL for
choices. But I mechnically apply the NULL check
anyways for completeness.

This mechnical patch avoids the segfault. The
above snippet produces the following error with
this patch:

  Kconfig:34:error: recursive dependency detected!
  Kconfig:34:	symbol FOO depends on BAR
  ???:-1:	symbol BAR is selected by FOO

That being said, I am not sure if it is the right
fix conceptually and in functionality.
