Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Drop '-mthumb' from AFLAGS_ISA

When building with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y + a version of clang from
Debian, the following warning occurs frequently:

  <built-in>:383:9: warning: '__thumb2__' macro redefined [-Wmacro-redefined]
  #define __thumb2__ 2
          ^
  <built-in>:353:9: note: previous definition is here
  #define __thumb2__ 1
          ^
  1 warning generated.

Debian carries a downstream patch that changes the default CPU of the
arm-linux-gnueabihf target from 'arm1176jzf-s' (v6) to 'cortex-a7' (v7).
As a result, '-mthumb' defines both '__thumb__' and '__thumb2__'. The
define of '__thumb2__' via the command line was purposefully added to
catch a situation like this.

In a similar vein as commit 26b12e084bce ("ARM: 9264/1: only use
-mtp=cp15 for the compiler"), do not add '-mthumb' to AFLAGS_ISA, as it
is already passed to the assembler via '-Wa,-mthumb' and '__thumb2__' is
already defined for preprocessing.

Fixes: 1d2e9b67b001 ("ARM: 9265/1: pass -march= only to compiler")
