While discussing a patch to discard .eh_frame from the compressed
vmlinux using the linker script, Fangrui Song pointed out [1] that these
sections shouldn't exist in the first place because arch/x86/Makefile
uses -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables.
It turns out this is because the Makefiles used to build the compressed
kernel redefine KBUILD_CFLAGS, dropping this flag.
Add the flag to the Makefile for the compressed kernel, as well as the
EFI stub Makefile to fix this.
Also add the flag to boot/Makefile and realmode/rm/Makefile so that the
kernel's boot code (boot/setup.elf) and realmode trampoline
(realmode/rm/realmode.elf) won't be compiled with .eh_frame sections,
since their linker scripts also just discard them.
