[PATCH] kconfig: use /boot/config-* etc. as DEFCONFIG_LIST only for native build

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sat Apr 10 2021 - 10:32:21 EST


When the .config file is missing, 'make config', 'make menuconfig', etc.
uses a file listed in DEFCONFIG_LIST as base configuration.

Ususally, /boot/config-$(uname -r) exists, and is used as default.

However, when you are cross-compiling the kernel, it does not make
sense to use /boot/config-* from the build host. It should default
to arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG).

UML previously did not use DEFCONFIG_LIST at all, but it should be
able to use arch/um/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG) as a base config file.
