Subject: [PATCH v2] kbuild: add --target to correctly cross-compile UAPI headers with Clang

When you compile-test UAPI headers (CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST=y) with
Clang, they are currently compiled for the host target (likely x86_64)
regardless of the given ARCH=.

In fact, some exported headers include libc headers. For example,
include/uapi/linux/agpgart.h includes <stdlib.h> after being exported.
The header search paths should match to the target we are compiling
them for.

Pick up the --target triple from KBUILD_CFLAGS in the same ways as
commit 7f58b487e9ff ("kbuild: make Clang build userprogs for target
architecture").

Changes in v2:
  - Reword the commit description to mention agpgart.h instead of
    asound.h because the latter is in the no-header-test list.
