[PATCH 5.4 008/107] kbuild: replace AS=clang with LLVM_IAS=1

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7e20e47c70f810d678d02941fa3c671209c4ca97 upstream.

The 'AS' variable is unused for building the kernel. Only the remaining
usage is to turn on the integrated assembler. A boolean flag is a better
fit for this purpose.

AS=clang was added for experts. So, I replaced it with LLVM_IAS=1,
breaking the backward compatibility.

+Currently, the integrated assembler is disabled by default. You can pass
