ktest.pl: Prevent recursion of default variable options
If a default variable contains itself, do not recurse on it.
For example:
ADD_CONFIG := ${CONFIG_DIR}/temp_config
DEFAULTS
ADD_CONFIG = ${CONFIG_DIR}/default_config ${ADD_CONFIG}
The above works because the temp variable ADD_CONFIG (is a temp because it
is created with ":=") is already defined, it will be substituted in the
variable option. But if it gets commented out:
# ADD_CONFIG := ${CONFIG_DIR}/temp_config
DEFAULTS
ADD_CONFIG = ${CONFIG_DIR}/default_config ${ADD_CONFIG}
Then the above will go into a recursive loop where ${ADD_CONFIG} will
get replaced with the current definition of ADD_CONFIG which contains the
${ADD_CONFIG} and that will also try to get converted. ktest.pl will error
after 100 attempts of recursion and fail.
When replacing a variable with the default variable, if the default
variable contains itself, do not replace it.
