    arm64: xcompile: Add support for A53 erratum 843419
    
    This patch adds support to enable a linker workaround to a hardware
    erratum on some early Cortex-A53 revisions. Since the linker option was
    added very recently, we use xcompile to test whether the toolchain
    supports it first. It is also guarded by a Kconfig since only a few
    ARM64 SoCs will need this and it incurs a performance penalty.
    
    BRANCH=none
    BUG=none
    TEST=Turned it on or off for Smaug and confirmed that it (dis)appeared
    in verbose make output accordingly.
