Now that the kernel specifies binutils 2.23 as the minimum version, we
can remove ifdefs for AVX2 and ADX throughout.

We raise the minimal supported binutils version from time to time.
The last bump was commit 1fb12b35e5 ("kbuild: Raise the minimum
required binutils version to 2.21").
We have these as-instr tests because binutils 2.21 does not support
them.
When we bump the binutils version next time, this will be a good
hint to find out which one can be dropped.
As for the Clang/LLVM builds, we require very new LLVM version,
so the LLVM integrated assembler supports all of them.

Doing this probing inside of the Makefiles means we have a maze of
ifdefs inside the source code and child Makefiles that need to make
proper decisions on this too. Instead, we do it at Kconfig time, like
many other compiler and assembler options, which allows us to set up the
dependencies normally for full compilation units. In the process, the
ADX test changes to use %eax instead of %r10 so that it's valid in both
32-bit and 64-bit mode.
