Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: fix undesirable side effect of adding "visible" menu
 attribute

This lead to non-selected, non-user-selectable options to be written
out to .config. This is not only pointless, but also preventing the
user to be prompted should any of those options eventually become
visible (e.g. by de-selecting the *_AUTO options the "visible"
attribute was added for.

Furthermore it is quite logical for the "visible" attribute of a menu
to control the visibility of all contained prompts, which is what the
patch does.
