Allow overriding of CC in powerpc kernel build

arch/powerpc/Makefile uses make 'override' directives to add -m32 or
-m64 depending on config to the CC variable, and matching options to
the AS, LD and AR variables to correctly use a biarch compiler.

Unfortunately this doesn't work as intended if you actually attempt to
set CC from the make command line.  They correctly augment the given
CC variable in the top-level make instance, but at least some of the
second-level make invocations don't include arch/powerpc/Makefile, so
the command line override is used directly, and we attempt to compile
without the correct -m64 or similar option.

This patch alters the way we set up the biarch flags so that CC can be
overriden from the command line as expected (this is useful when using
ccontrol as a compiler wrapper).  The approach is based roughly on the
way x86 handles the analagous problem for i386/x86_64 biarch
compilers, with some additional hacks to make the VDSO compilation
work.
