Don't prevent the test building on non-x86. Just try and build it and
let the chips fall where they may.

As a user of kcmp via CRIU on arm and arm64, thanks!

Not that this needs to be addressed in this patch, but this looks broken for
cross compilation. It looks like some of the other selftests use:

CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc

It makes sense to fix the cross-compile problem now, since
this patch is extending the support to other archs.
