[ Upstream commit a26fe287eed112b4e21e854f173c8918a6a8596d ]

The scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh script requires an existing
$INITFILE (or the $1 argument) as a base file for merging Kconfig
fragments. However, an empty $INITFILE can serve as an initial starting
point, later referenced by the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG Makefile variable
if -m is not used. This variable can point to any configuration file
containing preset config symbols (the merged output) as stated in
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.rst. When -m is used $INITFILE will
contain just the merge output requiring the user to run make (i.e.
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=<$INITFILE> make <allnoconfig/alldefconfig> or make
olddefconfig).

Instead of failing when `$INITFILE` is missing, create an empty file and
use it as the starting point for merges.
