Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] objtool: Alter how HOSTCC is forced

HOSTCC is always wanted when building objtool. Setting CC to HOSTCC
happens after tools/scripts/Makefile.include is included, meaning
flags (like CFLAGS) are set assuming say CC is gcc, but then it can be
later set to HOSTCC which may be clang. tools/scripts/Makefile.include
is needed for host set up and common macros in objtool's
Makefile. Rather than override the CC variable to HOSTCC, just pass CC
as HOSTCC to the sub-makes of Makefile.build, the libsubcmd builds and
also to the linkage step.
