[PATCH v2] powerpc: Pass correct CPU reference to assembler

Jan-Benedict reported issue with building ppc64e_defconfig
with mainline GCC work:

  powerpc64-linux-gcc -Wp,-MMD,arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/.gettimeofday-64.o.d -nostdinc -I./arch/powerpc/include -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated  -I./include -I./arch/powerpc/include/uapi -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/compiler-version.h -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h -D__KERNEL__ -I ./arch/powerpc -DHAVE_AS_ATHIGH=1 -fmacro-prefix-map=./= -D__ASSEMBLY__ -fno-PIE -m64 -Wl,-a64 -mabi=elfv1 -Wa,-me500 -Wa,-me500mc -mabi=elfv1 -mbig-endian    -Wl,-soname=linux-vdso64.so.1 -D__VDSO64__ -s -c -o arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday-64.o arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S

This is due to assembler being called with -me500mc which is
a 32 bits target.

The problem comes from the fact that CONFIG_PPC_E500MC is selected for
both the e500mc (32 bits) and the e5500 (64 bits), and therefore the
following makefile rule is wrong:

  cpu-as-$(CONFIG_PPC_E500MC)    += $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-me500mc)

Today we have CONFIG_TARGET_CPU which provides the identification of the
expected CPU, it is used for GCC. Use it as well for the assembler.

With that change (And also commit 825eada7717c ("powerpc/64: Set
default CPU in Kconfig")), it now is:

  powerpc64-linux-gcc -Wp,-MMD,arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/.gettimeofday-64.o.d -nostdinc -I./arch/powerpc/include -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated  -I./include -I./arch/powerpc/include/uapi -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/compiler-version.h -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h -D__KERNEL__ -I ./arch/powerpc -DHAVE_AS_ATHIGH=1 -fmacro-prefix-map=./= -D__ASSEMBLY__ -fno-PIE -m64 -Wl,-a64 -mabi=elfv1 -mcpu=e500mc64 -Wa,-me500mc64 -mabi=elfv1 -mbig-endian    -Wl,-soname=linux-vdso64.so.1 -D__VDSO64__ -s -c -o arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday-64.o arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S
