powerpc: Remove linker flag from KBUILD_AFLAGS

[ Upstream commit 31f48f16264bc70962fb3e7ec62da64d0a2ba04a ]

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
points out that KBUILD_AFLAGS contains a linker flag, which will be
unused:

  clang: error: -Wl,-a32: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This was likely supposed to be '-Wa,-a$(BITS)'. However, this change is
unnecessary, as all supported versions of clang and gcc will pass '-a64'
or '-a32' to GNU as based on the value of '-m'; the behavior of the
latest stable release of the oldest supported major version of each
compiler is shown below and each compiler's latest release exhibits the
same behavior (GCC 12.2.0 and Clang 15.0.6).

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc --version | head -1
  powerpc64-linux-gcc (GCC) 5.5.0

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc -m64 -### -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep 'as '
  .../as -a64 -mppc64 -many -mbig -o /dev/null /tmp/cctwuBzZ.s

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc -m32 -### -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep 'as '
  .../as -a32 -mppc -many -mbig -o /dev/null /tmp/ccaZP4mF.sg

  $ clang --version | head -1
  Ubuntu clang version 11.1.0-++20211011094159+1fdec59bffc1-1~exp1~20211011214622.5

  $ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu -fno-integrated-as -m64 -### \
    -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep gnu-as
   "/usr/bin/powerpc64-linux-gnu-as" "-a64" "-mppc64" "-many" "-o" "/dev/null" "/tmp/null-80267c.s"

  $ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu -fno-integrated-as -m64 -### \
    -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep gnu-as
   "/usr/bin/powerpc64-linux-gnu-as" "-a32" "-mppc" "-many" "-o" "/dev/null" "/tmp/null-ab8f8d.s"

Remove this flag altogether to avoid future issues.
