Robert Marko 2116073f98 tools: libdeflate: backport fix for AVX-VNNI
Trying to compile with new new enough GCC but older binutils that dont
support AVX-VNNI will error out on the assembler, so backport an upstream
fix for it.

Subject: [PATCH] lib/x86: increase AVX-VNNI gcc prerequisite to 12.1
Although gcc 11.1 supports AVX-VNNI, a popular distro pairs it with a
binutils version that does not. Require gcc 12 instead.

* AVX-VNNI implementation. This is used on CPUs that have AVX2 and AVX-VNNI
* but don't have AVX-512, for example Intel Alder Lake.
+ *
+ * Unusually for a new CPU feature, gcc added support for the AVX-VNNI
+ * intrinsics (in gcc 11.1) slightly before binutils added support for
+ * assembling AVX-VNNI instructions (in binutils 2.36). Distros can reasonably
+ * have gcc 11 with binutils 2.35. Because of this issue, we check for gcc 12
+ * instead of gcc 11. (libdeflate supports direct compilation without a
+ * configure step, so checking the binutils version is not always an option.)
