x86/Kconfig: Fix CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR when cross compiling with clang

Chimera Linux notes that CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR cannot be
enabled when cross compiling an x86_64 kernel with clang, even though it
does work when natively compiling.

When building on aarch64:

  $ make -sj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 defconfig

  $ grep STACKPROTECTOR .config

When building on x86_64:

  $ make -sj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 defconfig

  $ grep STACKPROTECTOR .config
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y

When clang is invoked without a '--target' flag, code is generated for
the default target, which is usually the host (it is configurable via
cmake). As a result, the has-stack-protector scripts will generate code
for the default target but check for x86 specific segment registers,
which cannot succeed if the default target is not x86.

$(CLANG_FLAGS) contains an explicit '--target' flag so pass that
variable along to the has-stack-protector scripts so that the stack
protector can be enabled when cross compiling with clang. The 32-bit
stack protector cannot currently be enabled with clang, as it does not
support '-mstack-protector-guard-symbol', so this results in no
functional change for ARCH=i386 when cross compiling.
