Subject: [PATCH] arm64: vdso32: Fix '--prefix=' value for newer versions of
 clang

Newer versions of clang only look for $(COMPAT_GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)as [1],
rather than $(COMPAT_GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)$(CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT)as,
resulting in the following build error:

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- \
CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabi- LLVM=1 O=out/aarch64 distclean \
defconfig arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/
...
/home/nathan/cbl/toolchains/llvm-binutils/bin/as: unrecognized option '-EL'
clang-12: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[3]: *** [arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/Makefile:181: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/note.o] Error 1
...

Adding the value of CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT (adding notdir to account for a
full path for CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT) fixes this issue, which matches the
solution done for the main Makefile [2].
