objtool: Support CROSS_COMPILE

When building with CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION on a ppc64le host with an x86
cross-compiler, Stephen Rothwell saw the following objtool build errors:

    DESCEND  objtool
    CC       /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/builtin-check.o
    CC       /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/special.o

  compilation terminated.

    CC       /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/help.o
  builtin-check.c:28:20: fatal error: string.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
  objtool.c:28:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.

It fails to build because it tries to compile objtool with the
cross-compiler instead of the host compiler.

Ensure that it always uses the host compiler by ignoring CROSS_COMPILE.

In order to do that properly, the libsubcmd.a library needs to be built
in tools/objtool/ rather than tools/lib/subcmd/.  The latter directory
contains the cross-compiled version which is needed for perf and
possibly other tools.

Note that cross-compiling for x86 on a _big_ endian system would result
in a bunch of false positive objtool warnings during the kernel build
because it isn't endian-aware.  But that's generally a rare edge case
and there haven't been any reports of anybody needing that.
