Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] arm64: vdso32: Fix syncconfig errors.

The .config file and the generated include/config/auto.conf can
end up out of sync after a set of commands since
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO is not updated correctly.

The sequence can be reproduced as follows:

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig
[...]
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- menuconfig
[set CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO="arm-linux-gnueabihf-"]
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

Which results in:

arch/arm64/Makefile:62: CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT not defined or empty,
the compat vDSO will not be built

even though the compat vDSO has been built:

$ file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, ARM,
EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked,
BuildID[sha1]=c67f6c786f2d2d6f86c71f708595594aa25247f6, stripped

A similar case that involves changing the configuration parameter multiple
times can be reconducted to the same family of problems.

The reason behind it comes from the fact that the master Makefile includes
that architecture Makefile twice, once before the syncconfig and one after.
Since the synchronization of the files happens only upon syncconfig, the
architecture Makefile included before this event does not see the change in
configuration.

As a consequence of this it is not possible to handle the cross compiler
definitions inside the architecture Makefile.

Address the problem refactoring the arm64 main Makefile and removing the
misleading warnings.

As a consequence of this it is not possible anymore to set the compat
cross compiler from menuconfig but it requires to be exported via
command line.

E.g.:

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
