Subject: [PATCH v2] samples/seccomp/Makefile: Do not build tests if cross-compiling for MIPS

The Makefile is designed to use the host toolchain so it may be
unsafe to build the tests if the kernel has been configured and built
for another architecture. This fixes a build problem when the kernel has
been configured and built for the MIPS architecture but the host is
not MIPS (cross-compiled). The MIPS syscalls are only defined
if one of the following is true:

1) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI64
2) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI32
3) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_NABI32

Of course, none of these make sense on a non-MIPS toolchain and the
following build problem occurs when building on a non-MIPS host.

linux/usr/include/linux/kexec.h:50:
userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
samples/seccomp/bpf-direct.c: In function ‘emulator’:
samples/seccomp/bpf-direct.c:76:17: error:
‘__NR_write’ undeclared (first use in this function)

This build problem is only reproducible on the linux-next tree at the moment

Changes since v1:
- Rework code so native builds are allowed on MIPS
