[PATCH 6.4 782/800] kbuild: add $(CLANG_FLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

commit feb843a469fb0ab00d2d23cfb9bcc379791011bb upstream.

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

[Note]
After the patch submission, we got an actual problem that needs this
commit. (CBL issue 1859)
