From: "mark.yang" <mark.yang@lge.com>

Setting TOOLCHAIN on the kernel recipe alone leaves modules and
make-mod-scripts running make against the shared build tree with gcc;
kbuild spots the CC_VERSION_TEXT mismatch and silently regenerates
the shared .config. Add a KERNEL_TOOLCHAIN switch so the kernel,
modules and make-mod-scripts change toolchain together, gcc by default.

Set TOOLCHAIN from it in the kbuild consumers rather than in
kernel-arch: kernel-arch is also inherited by u-boot and barebox for
the ARCH mapping, and the u-boot kbuild hardcodes ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc,
so switching them too would drop the gcc cross dependency they need:

  /bin/sh: 1: x86_64-oe-linux-gcc: not found

v3: set TOOLCHAIN from the kbuild consumers instead of kernel-arch,
    which is also inherited by u-boot and barebox
v2: rebased on the merged clang toolchain support which supersedes
    the other v1 patches; dependency changes split out into patch 2
