Subject: [PATCH v4] Makefile.debug: re-enable debug info for .S files

Alexey reported that the fraction of unknown filename instances in
kallsyms grew from ~0.3% to ~10% recently; Bill and Greg tracked it down
to assembler defined symbols, which regressed as a result of:

commit b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")

In that commit, I allude to restoring debug info for assembler defined
symbols in a follow up patch, but it seems I forgot to do so in

commit a66049e2cf0e ("Kbuild: make DWARF version a choice")

Changes v3 -> v4:
* Break out into its own patch.
* Move addition of debug-flags-y to DEBUG_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS up
  grouping the -gdwarf-* handling together.
