kconfig: remove 'const' from the return type of sym_escape_string_value()
sym_escape_string_value() returns a malloc'ed memory, but as (const char *). So, it must be casted to (void *) when it is free'd. This is odd. The return type of sym_escape_string_value() should be (char *). I exploited that free(NULL) has no effect. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
