[PATCH] kconfig: shorten the temporary directory name for cc-option

[PATCH] kconfig: shorten the temporary directory name for cc-option

[Masahiro Yamada]

The cc-option macro creates the temporary directory, .tmp_$$$$, which
is expanded into .tmp_<PID><PID>, but the second <PID> is redundant.
(<PID> is the process ID of the sub-shell)

If it were the Makefile code, .tmp_$$$$ would be the correct code.
(see the TMPOUT macro in scripts/Malefile.compiler)

In Makefile, '$$' is an escape sequence of '$'. Make expands '$$$$'
into '$$', then shell expands it into the process ID.

This does not apply to Kconfig because Kconfig requires variable
references to be enclosed by curly braces, like ${variable}.
The '$' that is not followed by '{' loses its special function.
