[Buildroot] [PATCH v4 2/2] Patch to assembler to strip LOCK prefix.

The lock prefix is usually stripped by passing to the compiler
-Wa,momit-lock-prefix=yes via EXTRA_CFLAGS. However I couldn't find
a way to get buildroot to pass CFLAGS/EXTRA_CFLAGS around.

I tried using BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION, and creating a new processor type
but the flag kept stripping it out. I found the most reliable way to 
achieve the behavior was to make stripping the LOCK prefix the assembler's 
default behavior, hence the patch
