[PATCH] kbuild: Set KBUILD_CFLAGS before incl. arch Makefile

From: Chris Fries <cfries@xxxxxxxxxx>

Set the clang KBUILD_CFLAGS up before including arch/ Makefiles,
so that ld-options (etc.) can work correctly.

This fixes errors with clang such as ld-options trying to CC
against your host architecture, but LD trying to link against
your target architecture.

We didn't notice this problem on Android, because we took the original
LLVMLinux patch into our 4.4 kernels, which did not have this issue. We
ran into this taking the proper upstream patch on newer kernel versions.
The original LLVMLinux patch can be seen at:

http://git.linuxfoundation.org/?p=llvmlinux/kernel.git;a=blobdiff;f=Makefile;h=389006c4ef494cda3a1ee52bf355618673ab4f31;hp=e41a3356abee83f08288362950bfceebd25ec3c2;hb=ef9126da11b18ff34eb1f01561f53c378860336c;hpb=f800c25b7a762d445ba1439a2428c8362157eba6

It seems that when the patch was re-upstreamed, a V2 was requested that
moved the definition of Clang's target triple to be later in the top
level Makefile than the inclusion of the arch specific Makefile,
breaking macros like ld-option when cross compiling. V2 was requested
at:
