Thomas Hebb a960968604 kconfig: fix nesting of symbol help text
When we generate the help text of a symbol (e.g. when a user presses '?'
in menuconfig), we do two things:

 1. We iterate through every prompt that belongs to that symbol,
    printing its text and its location in the menu tree.
 2. We print symbol-wide information that's not linked to a particular
    prompt, such as what it selects/is selected by and what it
    implies/is implied by.

Each prompt we print for 1 starts with a line that's not indented
indicating where the prompt is defined, then continues with indented
lines that describe properties of that particular definition.

Once we get to 2, however, we print all the global data indented as
well! Visually, this makes it look like the symbol-wide data is
associated with the last prompt we happened to print rather than
the symbol as a whole.

Fix this by removing the indentation for symbol-wide information.

Before:

  Symbol: CPU_FREQ [=n]
  Type  : bool
  Defined at drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig:4
    Prompt: CPU Frequency scaling
    Location:
      -> CPU Power Management
        -> CPU Frequency scaling
    Selects: SRCU [=n]
    Selected by [n]:
    - ARCH_SA1100 [=n] && <choice>

After:

  Symbol: CPU_FREQ [=n]
  Type  : bool
  Defined at drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig:4
    Prompt: CPU Frequency scaling
    Location:
      -> CPU Power Management
        -> CPU Frequency scaling
  Selects: SRCU [=n]
  Selected by [n]:
    - ARCH_SA1100 [=n] && <choice>

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
