[PATCH] powerpc: Disable -Wbuiltin-requires-header when setjmp is used

The powerpc kernel uses setjmp which causes a warning when building with
clang:

    CC      arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.o
  In file included from arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:51:
  ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/setjmp.h:15:13: error: declaration of
  built-in function 'setjmp' requires inclusion of the header <setjmp.h>
        [-Werror,-Wbuiltin-requires-header]
  extern long setjmp(long *);
              ^
  ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/setjmp.h:16:13: error: declaration of
  built-in function 'longjmp' requires inclusion of the header <setjmp.h>
        [-Werror,-Wbuiltin-requires-header]
  extern void longjmp(long *, long);
              ^

This *is* the header and we're not using the built-in setjump but
rather the one in arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.S. As the compiler warning
does not make sense, it for the files where setjmp is used.

We could instead disable this for all of the kernel as I don't think the
warning is going to ever provide useful information for the kernel.

Joel, thanks for reporting the issue in
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/59
and sending the patch to fix.  I think it would be good to credit
Stephen with the Suggested-by tag:

I'd be curious to see more than one failure to be able to discern
whether this flag should always be disabled or if it could flag actual
bugs.  I assume the intent of the flag is "don't name
functions/headers that would conflict with the C standard library."
While the kernel uses `-nostdinc`, I still kind of empathize with the
intent of the flag.  I worry about system headers somehow getting
included rather than the kernel provided ones, especially because some
Makefiles in the kernel overwrite KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
