Commit Message

  The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:
	egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
fix this up by moving the LoongArch Makefile to use "grep -E" instead.

For future reference: this warning message is imprecise because on some
non-POSIX platforms grep does not support -E (see "Limitations of Usual
Tools" in autoconf info page).

However (1) we are already using -w, which is not guaranteed to be
supported as well; (2) I don't think anyone will build LoongArch kernel
on such an old non-POSIX system.

So LGTM.
