powerpc: Remove linker flag from KBUILD_AFLAGS
When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
points out that KBUILD_AFLAGS contains a linker flag, which will be
unused:
clang: error: -Wl,-a32: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
This was likely supposed to be '-Wa,-a$(BITS)'. However, this change is
unnecessary, as all supported versions of clang and gcc will pass '-a64'
or '-a32' to GNU as based on the value of '-m'; the behavior of the
latest stable release of the oldest supported major version of each
compiler is shown below and each compiler's latest release exhibits the
same behavior (GCC 12.2.0 and Clang 15.0.6).
$ powerpc64-linux-gcc --version | head -1

$ powerpc64-linux-gcc -m64 -### -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep 'as '

$ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu -fno-integrated-as -m64 -### \

"/usr/bin/powerpc64-linux-gnu-as" "-a32" "-mppc" "-many" "-o" "/dev/null" "/tmp/null-ab8f8d.s"
Remove this flag altogether to avoid future issues.
