Ferruh Yigit e19c6de3f2 build: fix crash by disabling AVX512 with binutils 2.31
On Skylake platform, with native build, KNI kernel module crashes
because of the corrupted values passed to kernel module.

The corruption occurs because the userspace kni library works
unexpectedly. Compiler [1] is using AVX512 instructions and generated
binary is wrong [2].

It turned around gcc does its job correct, but gas is generating binary
wrong. And expected binutils 2.30, 2.31 & 2.31.1 are affected. Issue has
been fixed in binutils 2.32 with:
Commit x86: don't mistakenly scale non-8-bit displacements

AVX512 was already disabled with bintuils 2.30 [3], extending it to
2.31 & 2.31.1 too.

[1] gcc (GCC) 8.3.1 20190223 (Red Hat 8.3.1-2)

[2] gcc bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90028

[3] Bugzilla ID 97 has the details.
