Several selftests Makefiles (e.g. prctl, breakpoints, etc) attempt to
normalize the ARCH variable by converting x86_64 and i.86 to x86.
However, it uses the conditional assignment operator '?='.
When ARCH is passed as a command-line argument (e.g., during an rpmbuild
process), the '?=' operator ignores the shell command and the sed
transformation. This leads to an incorrect ARCH value being used, which
causes build failures
# make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=prctl ARCH=x86_64
make: Entering directory '/build/tools/testing/selftests'
make[1]: Entering directory '/build/tools/testing/selftests/prctl'
make[1]: *** No targets. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/tools/testing/selftests/prctl'
make: *** [Makefile:197: all] Error 2
Change the assignment to use 'override' and ':=' to ensure the
normalization logic is applied regardless of how the ARCH variable was
initially defined.
