[PATCH v2 4/5] x86/boot: use -fno-builtin-bcmp

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Wed Aug 19 2020 - 15:17:54 EST


We're reverting
commit 5f074f3e192f ("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")
in favor of -fno-builtin-bcmp. Remove the additional definition here,
too.

arch/x86/purgatory/Makefile uses -ffreestanding, so there's no risk of
this libcall optimization occurring for arch/x86/boot/purgatory.ro.

arch/x86/boot/Makefile resets KBUILD_CFLAGS, so make sure to reset this
flag that was set for the top level Makefile.

Fixes: 4ce97317f41d ("x86/purgatory: Do not use __builtin_memcpy and __builtin_memset")
