[PATCH v3 3/3] x86/tools: Remove chkobjdump.awk

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Wed Nov 29 2023 - 17:18:11 EST


This check is superfluous now that the minimum version of binutils to
build the kernel is 2.25. This also fixes an error seen with
llvm-objdump because it does not support '-v' prior to LLVM 13:

llvm-objdump: error: unknown argument '-v'
