[PATCH 1/4] sparc64: vdso: Use 32-bit CHECKFLAGS for compat vDSO

When building the compat vDSO the CHECKFLAGS from the 64-bit kernel
are used. These are combined with the 32-bit CFLAGS. This confuses
sparse, producing false-positive warnings or potentially missing
real issues.

Manually override the CHECKFLAGS for the compat vDSO with the correct
32-bit configuration.

The actual false-positive is only reported when SPARC is converted over
to the generic vDSO library. However the issue is already present.
To avoid dependencies between different patch queues, I have this patch
in this one.
