kernel: Add upstream fix for module loading

Instead of disabling unwinding entirely this upstream patch
just disables generation of async unwind tables.

Once the patch in question lands in stable 4.4 tree this change
essentially must be removed (otherwise patch application will fail).

+Subject: [PATCH] ARC: unwind: ensure that .debug_frame is generated (vs.
+ .eh_frame)
+
+With recent binutils update to support dwarf CFI pseudo-ops in gas, we
+now get .eh_frame vs. .debug_frame. Although the call frame info is
+exactly the same in both, the CIE differs, which the current kernel
+unwinder can't cope with.
+
+This broke both the kernel unwinder as well as loadable modules (latter
+because of a new unhandled relo R_ARC_32_PCREL from .rela.eh_frame in
+the module loader)
+
+The ideal solution would be to switch unwinder to .eh_frame.
+For now however we can make do by just ensureing .debug_frame is
+generated by removing -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
+
+ .eh_frame    generated with -gdwarf-2 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
+ .debug_frame generated with -gdwarf-2
+
