Subject: [PATCH] Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1

Clang's integrated assembler produces the warning for assembly files:

warning: DWARF2 only supports one section per compilation unit

If -Wa,-gdwarf-* is unspecified, then debug info is not emitted for assembly sources (it is still emitted for C sources). This will be re-enabled for newer DWARF versions in a follow up patch.

Enables defconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO to build cleanly with LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 for x86_64 and arm64.
