x86/vmlinux: Use INT3 instead of NOP for linker fill bytes

Instead of using 0x90 (NOP) to fill bytes between functions, which makes
it easier to sloppily target functions in function pointer overwrite
attacks, fill with 0xCC (INT3) to force a trap. Also drop the space
between "=" and the value to better match the binutils documentation

  https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Fill.html#Output-Section-Fill

Example "objdump -d" before:

  ...
  ffffffff810001e0 <start_cpu0>:
  ffffffff810001e0:       48 8b 25 e1 b1 51 01    mov 0x151b1e1(%rip),%rsp        # ffffffff8251b3c8 <initial_stack>
  ffffffff810001e7:       e9 d5 fe ff ff          jmpq   ffffffff810000c1 <secondary_startup_64+0x91>
  ffffffff810001ec:       90                      nop
  ffffffff810001ed:       90                      nop
  ffffffff810001ee:       90                      nop
  ffffffff810001ef:       90                      nop

  ffffffff810001f0 <__startup_64>:
  ...

After:

  ...
  ffffffff810001e0 <start_cpu0>:
  ffffffff810001e0:       48 8b 25 41 79 53 01    mov 0x1537941(%rip),%rsp        # ffffffff82537b28 <initial_stack>
  ffffffff810001e7:       e9 d5 fe ff ff          jmpq   ffffffff810000c1 <secondary_startup_64+0x91>
  ffffffff810001ec:       cc                      int3
  ffffffff810001ed:       cc                      int3
  ffffffff810001ee:       cc                      int3
  ffffffff810001ef:       cc                      int3
