Ingo Molnar a5912f6b3e x86: Document linker script ASSERT() quirk 
Older binutils breaks if ASSERT() is used without a sink
for the output.

For example 2.14.90.0.6 is known to be broken, the link
fails with:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
  ld:arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:678: parse error

Document this quirk in all three files that use it.

  See:    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kbuild&m=124930110427870&w=2
  See[2]: d2ba8b2 ("x86: Fix assert syntax in vmlinux.lds.S")
