Kernel compilation: make oldconfig

make oldconfig takes the .config and runs it through the rules of the Kconfig files and produces a .config file which is consistent with the Kconfig rules.
If there are config values which are missing, make oldconfig will ask for them.

Remove «inexisting» CONFIG values 

$ grep CONFIG_DOES_NOT_EXIST .config
$ ./scripts/config --enable CONFIG_DOES_NOT_EXIST
$ grep CONFIG_DOES_NOT_EXIST .config
CONFIG_DOES_NOT_EXIST=y
$ make oldconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ grep CONFIG_DOES_NOT_EXIST .config

Modification of CONFIG symbols
