The minimum version of binutils for kernel build is currently 2.23 and
it doesn't support GFNI.
So, it fails to build the aria-avx if the old binutils is used.
The code using GFNI is an optional part of aria-avx.
So, it disables GFNI part in it when the old binutils is used.
In order to check whether the using binutils is supporting GFNI or not,
AS_GFNI is added.
Fixes: ba3579e6e4 ("crypto: aria-avx - add AES-NI/AVX/x86_64/GFNI assembler implementation of aria cipher")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
