Applied v4 to my custom clang-cfi patchset.

Here I tested with all Clang compilers I have installed:

[ Debian ]

dileks@...za:~/src/linux-kernel/git$ scripts/cc-version.sh clang-11
Clang 110100
dileks@...za:~/src/linux-kernel/git$ scripts/cc-version.sh clang-10
Clang 100001
dileks@...za:~/src/linux-kernel/git$ scripts/cc-version.sh clang-9***
*** Compiler is too old.
***   Your Clang version:    9.0.1
***   Minimum Clang version: 10.0.1
***

[ Selfmade LLVM toolchain v11.1.0-rc1 ]

dileks@...za:~/src/linux-kernel/git$ which clang
/opt/llvm-toolchain/bin/clang
dileks@...za:~/src/linux-kernel/git$ scripts/cc-version.sh clang
Clang 110100

[ LLVM-12 from <apt.llvm.org> ]

dileks@...za:~/src/linux-kernel/git$ scripts/cc-version.sh clang-12
Clang 120000
