Subject: [PATCH] x86/build: Use cc-option to validate stack alignment parameter

With 8f91869766c0 ("x86/build: Fix stack alignment for CLang") cc-option
is only used to determine the name of the stack alignment option supported
by the compiler, but not to verify that the actual parameter <option>=N is
valid in combination with the other CFLAGS. This causes problems with older
gcc versions which only support stack alignment on a boundary of 16 bytes
or higher.

Also use (__)cc_option to add the stack alignment option to CFLAGS to
make sure only valid options are added.

Fixes: 8f91869766c0 ("x86/build: Fix stack alignment for CLang")
