powerpc/Makefile: Don't pass -mcpu=powerpc64 when building 32-bit
When CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU=y (true for all our defconfigs) we pass -mcpu=powerpc64 to the compiler, even when we're building a 32-bit kernel. This happens because we have an ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/else block in the Makefile that was written before 32-bit supported GENERIC_CPU. Prior to that the else block only applied to 64-bit Book3E. The GCC man page says -mcpu=powerpc64 "[specifies] a pure ... 64-bit big endian PowerPC ... architecture machine [type], with an appropriate, generic processor model assumed for scheduling purposes." It's unclear how that interacts with -m32, which we are also passing, although obviously -m32 is taking precedence in some sense, as the 32-bit kernel only contains 32-bit instructions. This was noticed by inspection, not via any bug reports, but it does affect code generation. Comparing before/after code generation, there are some changes to instruction scheduling, and the after case (with -mcpu=powerpc64 removed) the compiler seems more keen to use r8. Fix it by making the else case only apply to Book3E 64, which excludes 32-bit.
