[PATCH 1/2] kbuild: Add -Wa,--fatal-warnings to as-instr invocation

Certain assembler instruction tests may only induce warnings from the
assembler on an unsupported instruction or option, which causes as-instr
to succeed when it was expected to fail. Some tests workaround this
limitation by additionally testing that invalid input fails as expected.
However, this is fragile if the assembler is changed to accept the
invalid input, as it will cause the instruction/option to be unavailable
like it was unsupported even when it is.
Use '-Wa,--fatal-warnings' in the as-instr macro to turn these warnings
into hard errors, which avoids this fragility and makes tests more
robust and well formed.
