linux: use HOSTCC_NOCCACHE as kconfig HOSTCC

linux is a bit different than other kconfig-package, because it has
"toolchain" in KCONFIG_DEPENDENCIES. Thanks to this, host-ccache *is*
ready by the time kconfig invocations are made, so we could use
$(HOSTCC) as the host compiler for kconfig related operations.

However, for consistency with other kconfig-package packages, we chose
to use $(HOSTCC_NOCCACHE) as well.

We cannot rely on the default value of HOSTCC passed by the
kconfig-package infrastructure, because $(LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS) also
contains a HOSTCC definition that would override the one passed by the
kconfig-package infrastructure.
