Subject: [GIT PULL] Kbuild fixes for 6.18 #2

Hi Linus,

Please pull this second round of fixes for Kbuild for 6.18. The top two
changes have not been in -next but they seemed low risk enough to send
along without soak time. If there are any issues, please let me know.

Cheers,
Nathan

  kconfig/nconf: Initialize the default locale at startup (2025-11-01 00:23:22 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Second round of Kbuild fixes for 6.19

- Formally adopt Kconfig in MAINTAINERS

- Fix install-extmod-build for more O= paths

- Align end of .modinfo to fix Authenticode calculation in EDK2

- Restore dynamic check for '-fsanitize=kernel-memory' in
  CONFIG_HAVE_KMSAN_COMPILER to ensure backend target has support for
  it

- Initialize locale in menuconfig and nconfig to fix UTF-8 terminals
  that may not support VT100 ACS by default like PuTTY
