Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: add $(CLANG_CFLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS

When preprocessing arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S, the target triple is
not passed to $(CPP) because we add it only to KBUILD_{C,A}FLAGS.

As a result, the linker script is preprocessed with predefined macros
for the build host instead of the target.

Assuming you use an x86 build machine, compare the following:

 $ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null
 $ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null -target aarch64-linux-gnu

There is no actual problem presumably because our linker scripts do not
rely on such predefined macros, but it is better to define correct ones.

Move $(CFLAGS_CFLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, so that all *.c, *.S, *.lds.S
will be processed with the proper target triple.
