[v3,2/2] x86/purgatory: use CFLAGS_REMOVE rather than reset KBUILD_CFLAGS

KBUILD_CFLAGS is very carefully built up in the top level Makefile,
particularly when cross compiling or using different build tools.
Resetting KBUILD_CFLAGS via := assignment is an antipattern.

The comment above the reset mentions that -pg is problematic.  Other
Makefiles use `CFLAGS_REMOVE_file.o = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)` when
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is set. Prefer that pattern to wiping out all of
the important KBUILD_CFLAGS then manually having to re-add them. Seems
also that __stack_chk_fail references are generated when using
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR or CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG.

Alternatively, we could put these in all in one variable and remove it
without any conditional checks (I think that's ok to do so with
CFLAGS_REMOVE).

Changes v2 -> v3:
* Prefer $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) which is exported to -pg.
* Also check CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR and CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG.
* Cc stable.
Changes v1 -> v2:
Rather than manually add -mno-sse, -mno-mmx, -mno-sse2, prefer to filter
-pg flags.

Nit. Can you please make that tabular?

CFLAGS_REMOVE_sha256.o		+= $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
CFLAGS_REMOVE_purgatory.o	+= $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o		+= $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
CFLAGS_REMOVE_kexec-purgatory.o	+= $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)

The above confused my pattern recognition engine :)

Thanks,

I tested the v3 patch series with clang compiled kernel for below
scenarios:

1. kexec'ing into a new kernel.
2. Purposely crashing the running kernel to generate kdump logs.

Thanks,
