fixdep: use malloc() and read() to load dep_file to buffer
Commit dee81e988674 ("fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search") changed how to
read files in which CONFIG options are searched. It used malloc()
and read() instead of mmap() because it needed to zero-terminate the
buffer in order to use strstr(). print_deps() was left untouched
since there was no reason to change it.
Now, I have two motivations to change it in the same way.
- do_config_file() and print_deps() do quite similar things; they
open a file, load it onto memory, and pass it to a parser function.
If we use malloc() and read() for print_deps() too, we can factor
out the common code. (I will do this in the next commit.)
- parse_dep_file() copies each token to a temporary buffer because
it needs to zero-terminate it to be passed to printf(). It is not
possible to modify the buffer directly because it is mmap'ed with
O_RDONLY. If we load the file content into a malloc'ed buffer, we
can insert '\0' after each token, and save memcpy(). (I will do
this in the commit after next.)
