kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs

Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs
in GCC's inlining decisions.

Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files.
Currently only x86 will use it.

Background:

The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware
of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes,
or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data
due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ...

Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of
certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source
code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute
for "code size and complexity".

Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain
common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent
practice of putting useful information into alternative sections.

As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions
are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm()
blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in
reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine
instructions.

This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm()
blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance
overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make
frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the
way when running on baremetal hardware.

Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro
and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the
inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.)

This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount
related changes have this impact:

 Makefile                 |    9 +++++++--
 arch/x86/Makefile        |    7 +++++++
 arch/x86/kernel/macros.S |    7 +++++++
 scripts/Kbuild.include   |    4 +++-
 scripts/mod/Makefile     |    2 ++
 5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read
and maintain ...

We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding
our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.
