Recent addition of ARM64_PTR_AUTH exposed a mismatch issue with binutils.
9.1+ versions of gcc inserts a section note .note.gnu.property but this
can be used properly by binutils version greater than 2.33.1. If older
binutils are used then the following warnings are generated,

aarch64-linux-ld: warning: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000
aarch64-linux-objdump: warning: arch/arm64/lib/csum.o: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000
aarch64-linux-nm: warning: .tmp_vmlinux1: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000

This patch enables ARM64_PTR_AUTH when gcc and binutils versions are
compatible with each other. Older gcc which do not insert such section
continue to work as before.

This scenario may not occur with clang as a recent commit 3b446c7d27ddd06
("arm64: Kconfig: verify binutils support for ARM64_PTR_AUTH") masks
binutils version lesser then 2.34.

We should add some of the comments in the commit log to the Kconfig
entry. I would also split this in two (equivalent to CC_IS_ implies):

	depends on !CC_IS_GCC || GCC_VERSION < 90100 || LD_VERSION >= 233010000
	depends on !CC_IS_CLANG || AS_HAS_CFI_NEGATE_RA_STATE

and add a comment above the gcc/ld version checking.

(not entirely identical to the original if CC is neither of them but I
don't think we have this problem)
