Subject: [PATCH 4.18 086/123] x86: Allow generating user-space headers without a compiler

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

commit 829fe4aa9ac16417a904ad1de1307de906854bcf upstream.

When bootstrapping an architecture, it's usual to generate the kernel's
user-space headers (make headers_install) before building a compiler.  Move
the compiler check (for asm goto support) to the archprepare target so that
it is only done when building code for the target.

Fixes: e501ce957a78 ("x86: Force asm-goto")
