ARC: dw2 unwind: don't force dwarf 2
In .debug_frame based unwinding regime, we used to force -gdwarf-2 since
kernel unwinder only claimed to handle dwarf 2. This changed since commit
6d0d506012c93d ("ARC: dw2 unwind: Don't bail for CIE.version != 1")
which added some support beyond dwarf 2, atleast to handle CIE != 1
The ill-effect of -gdwarf-2 is that it forces generation of .debug_*
sections, which bloats loadable modules .ko files. For the curious, this
doesn't affect vmlinx binary since linker script discards .debug_* but
same discard is not yet implemented for modules.
So it seems we can drop the -gdwarf-2 toggle, which should not be needed
anyways given that we now use .eh_frame based unwinding.
I've verified using GNU 2016.09-engo10 that the actual unwind info is
not different with or w/o this toggle - but the debug_* sections are
gone for good.
