[OE-core] [PATCH 8/9] kernel-yocto: do_kernel_configme: Fix silent sysroot poisoning error

From: Ioan-Adrian Ratiu <adrian.ratiu at ni.com>

do_kernel_configme calls merge_config.sh (installed in the sysroot by
the kern-tools-native recipe) which may invoke the compiler to complete
the configuration process.

Depending on the build (and dependencies), this may error due to sysroot poisoning [1].

The errors are similar to:

  make[1]: Entering directory '4.1+gitAUTOINC+a7e53ecc27-r0/linux-x64-standard-build' HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  work-shared/x64/kernel-source/scripts/basic/fixdep.c:106:23: fatal error: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
  make[2]: *** [work-shared/x64/kernel-source/scripts/basic/Makefile:22: scripts/basic/x86_64-nilrt-linux-fixdep] Error 1

Adding $TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS to $CFLAGS before calling merge_configs.sh
fixes the error because $TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS defines the sysroot and make
uses it to correctly compile & fill all missing kernel config options.
