[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] build: use generic march on arm64 when using 'default' machine

[luca.boccassi at gmail.com]

From: Luca Boccassi <bluca at debian.org>

When building for generic distribution we need a stable baseline
architecture, or depending on the build worker the result will vary.

Force the default flags if the user explicitly sets machine=default
at configuration time.

Fixes: b1d48c41189a ("build: support ARM with meson")
Cc: stable at dpdk.org

v2: fix typo in commit message, remove variable used only once
v3: put back temporary variable, as "machine" gets overwritten
    by the function and loses the original value before we need
    it.
v4: add acked-by, remove redundant assignment
