When building the kernel with binutils 2.37 and GCC-11.1.0/GCC-11.2.0,
the following error occurs:

Assembler messages:
Error: cannot find default versions of the ISA extension `zicsr'
Error: cannot find default versions of the ISA extension `zifencei'

The above error originated from this commit of binutils[0], which has been
resolved and backported by GCC-12.1.0[1] and GCC-11.3.0[2].

So fix this by change the GCC version in
CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_OLD_ISA_SPEC to GCC-11.3.0.

Thanks. I queued this up into staging, it's building -- so is Linus' master, so it might take a bit to get through everything.
