x86/vdso: Use 32-bit CHECKFLAGS for compat vDSO



When building the compat vDSO the CHECKFLAGS from the 64-bit kernel
are used. These are combined with the 32-bit CFLAGS. This confuses
sparse, producing false-positive warnings or potentially missing
real issues.

Manually override the CHECKFLAGS for the compat vDSO with the correct
32-bit configuration.
