x86: Use .cfi_sections for assembly code

Browse Source 
The newer assemblers support the .cfi_sections directive so we can put
the CFI from .S files into the .debug_frame section that is preserved
in unstripped vmlinux and in separate debuginfo, rather than the
.eh_frame section that is now discarded by vmlinux.lds.S.

* Emit CFI data in .debug_frame sections, not .eh_frame sections.
* The latter we currently just discard since we don't do DWARF
* unwinding at runtime. So only the offline DWARF information is
* useful to anyone. Note we should not use this directive if this
* file is used in the vDSO assembly, or if vmlinux.lds.S gets
* changed so it doesn't discard .eh_frame.
