    arm64: move warning about toolchains to archprepare · 64ee84c7

    Commit 987fdfec ("arm64: move --fix-cortex-a53-843419 linker test to
    Kconfig") fixed the false-positive warning in the installation step.
    
    Yet, there are some cases where this false-positive is shown. For example,
    you can see it when you cross 987fdfec during git-bisect.
    
      $ git checkout 987fdfec^
        [ snip ]
      $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig all
        [ snip ]
      $ git checkout v5.13
        [ snip]
      $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig all
        [ snip ]
      arch/arm64/Makefile:25: ld does not support --fix-cortex-a53-843419; kernel may be susceptible to erratum
    
    In the stale include/config/auto.config, CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419=y
    is set without CONFIG_ARM64_LD_HAS_FIX_ERRATUM_843419, so the warning
    is displayed while parsing the Makefiles.
    
    Make will restart with the updated include/config/auto.config, hence
    CONFIG_ARM64_LD_HAS_FIX_ERRATUM_843419 will be set eventually, but
    this warning is a surprise for users.
    
    Commit 25896d07 ("x86/build: Fix compiler support check for
    CONFIG_RETPOLINE") addressed a similar issue.
    
    Move $(warning ...) out of the parse stage of Makefiles.
    
    The same applies to CONFIG_ARM64_USE_LSE_ATOMICS.
