[Buildroot] [PATCH] %_defconfig: save the path to the defconfig

[Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)]

We have the BR2_DEFCONFIG feature that saves the path to the defconfig
file that was specified on the command line, so that a later
savedefconfig would immediately save to the right location. This wasn't
done for the defconfigs in the configs/ directory, however, to avoid
accidentally overwriting them.

Now we decided that it would be more useful to overwrite the defconfigs
in the configs/ directory after all. To do this, we pass the path to
that defconfig in the environment.
