kconfig: Avoid buffer underrun in choice input
commit 3ba41621156681afcdbcd624e3191cbc65eb94f4 upstream. Commit 40aee729b350 ('kconfig: fix default value for choice input') fixed some cases where kconfig would select the wrong option from a choice with a single valid option and thus enter an infinite loop. However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.
