um: let 'make clean' properly clean underlying SUBARCH as well
Building the kernel with O= is affected by stale in-tree build artifacts. So, if the source tree is not clean, Kbuild displays the following: $ make ARCH=um O=build defconfig make[1]: Entering directory '/.../linux/build' *** *** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=um mrproper' *** in /.../linux *** make[2]: *** [/.../linux/Makefile:673: outputmakefile] Error 1 make[1]: *** [/.../linux/Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/.../linux/build' make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2 Usually, running 'make mrproper' is sufficient for cleaning the source tree for out-of-tree builds. However, building UML generates build artifacts not only in arch/um/, but also in the SUBARCH directory (i.e., arch/x86/). If in-tree stale files remain under arch/x86/, Kbuild will reuse them instead of creating new ones under the specified build directory. This commit makes 'make ARCH=um clean' recurse into the SUBARCH directory.
