Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Remove inaccessible CMDLINE default

Since commit cbe46bd4f510 ("powerpc: remove CONFIG_CMDLINE #ifdef mess")
CONFIG_CMDLINE has always had a value regardless of CONNIG_CMDLINE_BOOL.

For example:

$ make ARCH=powerpc defconfig
$ cat .config
# CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not set
CONFIG_CMDLINE=""

When enabling CONNIG_CMDLINE_BOOL this value is kept making the 'default
"..." if CONNIG_CMDLINE_BOOL' ineffective.

$ ./scripts/config --enable CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
$ cat .config
CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y
CONFIG_CMDLINE=""

Additionally all the in-tree powerpc defconfigs that set
CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y also set CONFIG_CMDLINE to something else. For
these reasons remove the inaccessible default.

I think we could also get rid of CMDLINE_BOOL totally and use CMDLINE !=
"" instead.

Will fix in v2.

The only reason I can see to keep CMDLINE_BOOL is that it hides the
text input for CMDLINE which seems to be a pattern in Kconfig. Happy to
remove it if that's the consensus. 

I'll wait for the dust to settle on my other patch before sending a v2
of this one.
