powerpc: remove meaningless KBUILD_ARFLAGS addition
The KBUILD_ARFLAGS addition in arch/powerpc/Makefile has never worked in a useful way because it is always overridden by the following code in the top Makefile: # use the deterministic mode of AR if available KBUILD_ARFLAGS := $(call ar-option,D) The code in the top Makefile was added in 2011, by commit 40df759e ("kbuild: Fix build with binutils <= 2.19"). The KBUILD_ARFLAGS addition for ppc has always been dead code from the beginning. Nobody has reported a problem since 43c9127d ("powerpc: Add option to use thin archives"), so this code was unneeded.
