There are two callers of file_lookup().

[1] zconf_initscan()
    This is used to open the first Kconfig.  However, it cannot
    contain environments in the file path because zconf_fopen() is
    called before file_lookup().  By swapping the call order,
    KBUILD_KCONFIG would be able to contain environments, but I do
    not see practical benefits to support it.

[2] zconf_nextfile()
    This is used to open the next file from 'source' statement like
        source "arch/$SRCARCH/Kconfig"
    but this has already been expanded in the lexer phase.

So, file_lookup() does not need to expand the given path.

By the way, file_lookup() was already buggy; it expanded a given path,
but it used the path before expansion for look-up:
        if (!strcmp(name, file->name)) {

Changes in v2:
  - Simplify the patch.  Just remove text expansion.
