kconfig: reset generated values only if Kconfig and .config agree.
Normally generated values (Kconfig entries without a prompt) are cleared as they are regenerated anyway and so they appear as new should they become visible and defaults work as expected (once a value is set defaults aren't used anymore). The detection whether a value is generated or not is only based on its visibility status, which can quickly change for a lot of symbols by just removing a single line from .config or adding a dependency to Kconfig as you noticed. The patch now suppresses this logic when .config and Kconfig aren't in sync and .config needs to be updated, so that you can remove now a random value from .config and oldconfig won't reask for many other values.
