init/Kconfig: Fix infinite Kconfig recursion on PPC
Commit 5cf896fb6be3 ("arm64: Add support for relocating the kernel with RELR relocations") introduced CONFIG_TOOLS_SUPPORT_RELR, which checks for RELR support in the toolchain as part of the kernel configuration. During this procedure, "$(NM)" is invoked to see if it supports the new relocation format, however PowerPC conditionally overrides this variable in the architecture Makefile in order to pass '--synthetic' when targetting PPC64. This conditional override causes Kconfig to recurse forever, since CONFIG_TOOLS_SUPPORT_RELR cannot be determined without $(NM) being defined, but that in turn depends on CONFIG_PPC64: $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig [...] In this particular case, it looks like PowerPC may be able to pass '--synthetic' unconditionally to nm or even drop it altogether. While that is being resolved, let's just bodge the RELR check by picking up $(NM) directly from the environment in whatever state it happens to be in.
