"make ARCH=ppc defconfig" fails looking for common_defconfig

  (AIUI, the entire ppc/ architecture is going away, yes?  which means
i probably shouldn't care about any errors within.  is that correct?
even so, build errors should probably still be avoided for now.)

$ make ARCH=ppc defconfig

Yes, it's going away.  There's really no longer support for anything
"common" in it now anyway.  CHRP, POWER3 and POWER4 have been removed.
So have 83xx and 85xx.

Just let it go.
