Huacai Chen df80567bfd LoongArch: Only fiddle with CHECKFLAGS if `need-compiler' 
[ Upstream commit 54c2c9df08 ]

This is a port of commit 4fe4a6374c ("MIPS: Only fiddle with
CHECKFLAGS if `need-compiler'") to LoongArch.

We have originally guarded fiddling with CHECKFLAGS in our arch Makefile
by checking for the CONFIG_LOONGARCH variable, not set for targets such
as `distclean', etc. that neither include `.config' nor use the compiler.

Starting from commit 805b2e1d42 ("kbuild: include Makefile.compiler
only when compiler is needed") we have had a generic `need-compiler'
variable explicitly telling us if the compiler will be used and thus its
capabilities need to be checked and expressed in the form of compilation
flags.  If this variable is not set, then `make' functions such as
`cc-option' are undefined, causing all kinds of weirdness to happen if
we expect specific results to be returned.

It doesn't cause problems on LoongArch now. But as a guard we replace
the check for CONFIG_LOONGARCH with one for `need-compiler' instead, so
as to prevent the compiler from being ever called for CHECKFLAGS when
not needed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
