allnoconfig_y is a bad hack that sets a symbol to 'y' by allnoconfig.

allnoconfig does not mean a minimum set of CONFIG options because a
bunch of prompts are hidden by 'if EMBEDDED' or 'if EXPERT', but I do
not like to do a workaround this way.

Use the pre-existing feature, KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, to provide a one
liner config fragment. CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y is still forced under
allnoconfig.

No change in the .config file produced by 'make tinyconfig'.

The output of 'make allnoconfig' will be changed; we will get
CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n because allnoconfig literally sets all symbols to n.

With this patch in place, mips:allnoconfig fails to build with
the following error.

Error log:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x9c70): Section mismatch in reference from the function reserve_exception_space() to the function .meminit.text:memblock_reserve()
The function reserve_exception_space() references
the function __meminit memblock_reserve().
This is often because reserve_exception_space lacks a __meminit
annotation or the annotation of memblock_reserve is wrong.
ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.
Set CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y to allow them.
