commit 0c5b6c28ed68becb692b43eae5e44d5aa7e160ce upstream.
Prior to this commit, starting nconfig, xconfig or gconfig, and saving the .config file more than once caused data loss, where a .config file that contained only comments would be written to disk starting from the second save operation.
This bug manifests itself because the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag is never cleared after the first call to conf_write, and subsequent calls to conf_write then skip all of the configuration symbols due to the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag being set.
This commit resolves this issue by clearing the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag from all symbols before conf_write returns.

5.1.y is end-of-life, so no need for this backport.
