Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] powerpc: Avoid clang warnings around setjmp and longjmp

Commit aea447141c7e ("powerpc: Disable -Wbuiltin-requires-header when
setjmp is used") disabled -Wbuiltin-requires-header because of a warning
about the setjmp and longjmp declarations.

r367387 in clang added another diagnostic around this, complaining that
there is no jmp_buf declaration.

In file included from ../arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:47:
../arch/powerpc/include/asm/setjmp.h:10:13: error: declaration of
built-in function 'setjmp' requires the declaration of the 'jmp_buf'
type, commonly provided in the header <setjmp.h>.
[-Werror,-Wincomplete-setjmp-declaration]
extern long setjmp(long *);
            ^
../arch/powerpc/include/asm/setjmp.h:11:13: error: declaration of
built-in function 'longjmp' requires the declaration of the 'jmp_buf'
type, commonly provided in the header <setjmp.h>.
[-Werror,-Wincomplete-setjmp-declaration]
extern void longjmp(long *, long);
            ^
2 errors generated.

We are not using the standard library's longjmp/setjmp implementations
for obvious reasons; make this clear to clang by using -ffreestanding
on these files.

v1 -> v3:

* Use -ffreestanding instead of outright disabling the warning because
  it is legitimate.

I skipped v2 because the first patch in the series already had a v2.
