Description

@georglauterbach

contrib/check-config.sh uses dropped configurations

Looking at torvalds/linux@db8ab38, we see that some configuration parameters were dropped.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Run the contrib/check-config.sh with linux kernel >=5.1
  2. See that CONFIG_NF_NAT_IPV4: missing and CONFIG_NF_NAT_NEEDED: missing is shown

Describe the results you received:

The parameters are shown as missing

Describe the results you expected:

These parameters are not "missing", they were dropped. This could be misleading.
