The 'save as' may be used for out-of-tree kernel config saves, but the
default 'save' should always save to the in-tree .config file, as before
(and for the past 10+ years..) If the kernel config was loaded from an
out-of-tree location, it now saves back to that out-of-tree location,
which is useless for the kernel compile..

I have always kept my hardware/system-specific kernel configs
out-of-tree, and then applied them in-tree before compiling.

Now, I have to use 'save as' and type in the entire in-tree path
(/usr/src/linux-5.1/.config) each time, in order to apply the specific
config to the kernel, ready for compilation.
