[PATCH 1/2] kconfig: Document 'if' flattening logic

[Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@gmail.com>]

It is not obvious that this refers to an 'if', making the code pretty
cryptic:

	if (menu->list && (!menu->prompt || !menu->prompt->text)) {

Kconfig keeps the 'if' menu nodes even after flattening. Reflect that in
the example to be accurate.

No functional changes. Only comments added.
