kbuild: use KBUILD_DEFCONFIG as the fallback for DEFCONFIG_LIST

Most of the Kconfig commands (except defconfig and all*config) read
the .config file as a base set of CONFIG options.

When it does not exist, the files in DEFCONFIG_LIST are searched in
this order and loaded if found.

I do not see much sense in the last two lines in DEFCONFIG_LIST.

[1] ARCH_DEFCONFIG

The entry for DEFCONFIG_LIST is guarded by 'depends on !UML'. So, the
ARCH_DEFCONFIG definition in arch/x86/um/Kconfig is meaningless.

arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Kconfig define ARCH_DEFCONFIG depending on 32 or
64 bit variant symbols. This is a little bit strange; ARCH_DEFCONFIG
should be a fixed string because the base config file is loaded before
the symbol evaluation stage.

Using KBUILD_DEFCONFIG makes more sense because it is fixed before
Kconfig is invoked. Fortunately, arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Makefile define it
in the same way, and it works as expected. Hence, replace ARCH_DEFCONFIG
with "arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)".

[2] arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig

This file path is no longer valid. The defconfig files are always located
in the arch configs/ directories.

  $ find arch -name defconfig | sort
  arch/alpha/configs/defconfig
  arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
  arch/csky/configs/defconfig
  arch/nds32/configs/defconfig
  arch/riscv/configs/defconfig
  arch/s390/configs/defconfig
  arch/unicore32/configs/defconfig

The path arch/*/configs/defconfig is already covered by
"arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)". So, this file path is
not necessary.

I moved the default KBUILD_DEFCONFIG to the top Makefile. Otherwise,
the 7 architectures listed above would end up with endless loop of
syncconfig.
