kbuild: revert "save ARCH & CROSS_COMPILE ..."
Revert commit

It caused following issues:
- On architectures where ARCH= setting is used to select between
32 and 64 bit this was no longer possible without "make mrproper"
- If ARCH was changed then kbuild refused to run "make mrproper"
because ARCH had changed
- When CROSS_COMPILE was changed people were asked to run "make mrproper"
but kbuild refused to run "make mrproper" because CROSS_COMPILE changed.
- Spaces in CROSS_COMPILE was not 'supported'
- If an non-existing ARCH= was used kbuild could get stuck
Lessons learned:
. Despite being simple and straghtforward people uses very different
approaches when building the kernel.
. CROSS_COMPILE is sometimes used for ccache despite cache being
only a CC frontend so one would have expected CC to be
used for this purpose.
. And obviously this was not tested widely enough.
