    kconfig: use yylineno option instead of manual lineno increments · 18492685

    Tracking the line number by hand is error-prone since you need to
    increment it in every \n matching pattern.
    
    If '%option yylineno' is set, flex defines 'yylineno' to contain the
    current line number and automatically updates it each time it reads a
    \n character.  This is much more convenient although the lexer does
    not initializes yylineno, so you need to set it to 1 each time you
    start reading a new file, and restore it you go back to the previous
    file.
    
    I tested this with DEBUG_PARSE, and confirmed the same dump message
    was produced.
    
    I removed the perf-report option.  Otherwise, I see the following
    message:
      %option yylineno entails a performance penalty ONLY on rules that
      can match newline characters
