x86/build: Remove old -funit-at-a-time GCC quirk

The following commit:

  e501ce957a78 ("x86: Force asm-goto")

... bumped the minimum GCC version to 4.5 for building the x86 kernel.

arch/x86/Makefile no longer needs to take care of older GCC versions,
such as this pre-4.0 -funit-at-a-time quirk.
