Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Reduce __thumb2__ definition to crypto files that require it

Commit 1d2e9b67b001 ("ARM: 9265/1: pass -march= only to compiler") added
a __thumb2__ define to ASFLAGS to avoid build errors in the crypto code,
which relies on __thumb2__ for preprocessing. Commit 59e2cf8d21e0 ("ARM:
9275/1: Drop '-mthumb' from AFLAGS_ISA") followed up on this by removing
-mthumb from AFLAGS so that __thumb2__ would not be defined when the
default target was ARMv7 or newer.

Unfortunately, the second commit's fix assumes that the toolchain
defaults to -mno-thumb / -marm, which is not the case for Debian's
arm-linux-gnueabihf target, which defaults to -mthumb:

  $ echo | arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -dM -E - | grep __thumb
  #define __thumb2__ 1
  #define __thumb__ 1

This target is used by several CI systems, which will still see
redefined macro warnings, despite '-mthumb' not being present in the
flags:

  <command-line>: warning: "__thumb2__" redefined
  <built-in>: note: this is the location of the previous definition

Remove the global AFLAGS __thumb2__ define and move it to the crypto
folder where it is required by the imported OpenSSL algorithms; the rest
of the kernel should use the internal CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL symbol to
know whether or not Thumb2 is being used or not. Be sure that __thumb2__
is undefined first so that there are no macro redefinition warnings.
