Subject: builddeb: fix cross-building to arm64 producing host-arch debs

From: Adam Borowski <[email protected]>

commit 152b695d74376bfe55cd2a6265ccc75b0d39dd19 upstream.

Both Debian and kernel archs are "arm64" but UTS_MACHINE and gcc say "aarch64". Recognizing just the latter should be enough but let's accept both in case something regresses again or an user sets UTS_MACHINE=arm64.

Regressed in cfa88c7: arm64: Set UTS_MACHINE in the Makefile.
