[PATCH v2] kconfig: Fix warning "‘jump’ may be used uninitialized"

[Peter Kümmel]

Warning:
In file included from scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c:2537:0:
scripts/kconfig/menu.c: In function ‘get_symbol_str’:
scripts/kconfig/menu.c:590:18: warning: ‘jump’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
     jump->offset = strlen(r->s);

Simplifies the test logic because (head && local) means (jump != 0)
and makes GCC happy when checking if the jump pointer was initialized.

The warning is bogus, but since this has been reported by several people
now, let's shut it up this way. Applied to kbuild.git#kbuild.
