Content of string configuration may depend on related kernel
configurations.  Modify oldconfig and syncconfig to inform users about
possible required configuration update and give them the opportunity to
update it:
* if dependencies of this string has changed (e.g. enabled or disabled),
* and if the current value of this string is different than the (new)
  default one.

This is particularly relevant for CONFIG_LSM which contains a list of
LSMs enabled at boot, but users will not have a chance to update this
list with a make oldconfig.

If CONFIG_LSM already exists in the .config,
oldconfig does not show a prompt.
This is the expected behavior.

You are trying to fix your problem in a wrong way.
NACK.

It is not the behavior wished for LSM stacking.

What do you suggest to ensure that users will be asked to update the
CONFIG_LSM string if they add or remove an LSM?

Because LSM is doing wrong.
