buildLinux: apply hostPlatform.linux-kernel.makeFlags to generate-config.pl

This enforces that the configuration generated will obey any/all flags
set in the platform/stdenv configuration. This is crucial, for example,
if you'd like to build a kernel using clang.

Without this patch, anything you set in
`stdenv.hostPlatform.linux-kernel.makeFlags` is wholly ignored during
config generation, causing (for example) any changes in the desired
toolchain (e.g. `LLVM`, `LLVM_IAS`) to not be reflected in the generated
config, and for the subsequent build to fail.
