Description:
When running ndb_config --config-file=config.ini, ndb_config will try to read from my.cnf if the specified config.ini is not found.

How to repeat:
6.3$ storage/ndb/tools/ndb_config --config-file=non_existing
Error opening file: non_existing
Error line 0: At least one database node (ndbd) should be defined in config file
^This last line is from trying to open my.cnf

Suggested fix:
Don't look for my.cnf if user specified a config.ini

Documented bug fix in the NDB-6.3.25 and 7.0.6 changelogs as follows:

        When ndb_config could not find the file referenced by the
        --config-file option, it tried to read my.cnf instead, then
        failed with a misleading error message.
