Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Add CLANG_FLAGS to as-instr

A future change will move CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS to
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS so that '--target' is available while preprocessing.
When that occurs, the following errors appear multiple times when
building ARCH=powerpc powernv_defconfig:

  ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o):(.text+0x12d4): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI out of range: -4611686018409717520 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]; references '__start___soft_mask_table'
  ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o):(.text+0x12e8): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI out of range: -4611686018409717392 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]; references '__stop___soft_mask_table'

Diffing the .o.cmd files reveals that -DHAVE_AS_ATHIGH=1 is not present
anymore, because as-instr only uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, which will no longer
contain '--target'.

Mirror Kconfig's as-instr and add CLANG_FLAGS explicitly to the
invocation to ensure the target information is always present.
