Subject: [PATCH] x86/purgatory: Use CFLAGS_REMOVE rather than reset
 KBUILD_CFLAGS

KBUILD_CFLAGS is very carefully built up in the top level Makefile,
particularly when cross compiling or using different build tools.
Resetting KBUILD_CFLAGS via := assignment is an antipattern.

The comment above the reset mentions that -pg is problematic.  Other
Makefiles use `CFLAGS_REMOVE_file.o = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)` when
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is set. Prefer that pattern to wiping out all of
the important KBUILD_CFLAGS then manually having to re-add them. Seems
also that __stack_chk_fail references are generated when using
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR or CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG.
