Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] ARM: pass -march= only to compiler

When both -march= and -Wa,-march= are specified for assembler or
assembler-with-cpp sources, GCC and Clang will prefer the -Wa,-march=
value but Clang will warn that -march= is unused.

warning: argument unused during compilation: '-march=armv6k'
[-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This is the top group of warnings we observe when using clang to
assemble the kernel via `ARCH=arm make LLVM=1`.

Split the arch-y make variable into two, so that -march= flags only get
passed to the compiler, not the assembler. -D flags are added to
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS which is used for both C and assembler-with-cpp sources.
