While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h>
and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some
missing underscores.

Stephen Rothwell reported that the objtool cross-build breaks on
non-x86 hosts:
> tools/arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h:185:24: error: invalid register name for 'current_stack_pointer'
> 185 | register unsigned long current_stack_pointer asm(_ASM_SP);
> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The PowerPC host obviously doesn't know much about x86 register names.
Protect the kernel-specific bits of <asm/asm.h>, so that it can be
included by tooling and cross-built.

Use the new generalized _ASM_BYTES() macro from <asm/asm.h> instead of
the "home grown" _ASM_MK_NOP() in <asm/nops.h>.
Add <asm/asm.h> and update <asm/nops.h> in the tools directory...
