kstack_erase: Add -mgeneral-regs-only to silence Clang warnings

Once CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE is enabled with Clang on i386, the build warns:

  kernel/kstack_erase.c:168:2: warning: function with attribute 'no_caller_saved_registers' should only call a function with attribute 'no_caller_saved_registers' or be compiled with '-mgeneral-regs-only' [-Wexcessive-regsave]

Add -mgeneral-regs-only for the kstack_erase handler, to make Clang feel
better (it is effectively a no-op flag for the kernel). No binary
changes encountered.

Build & boot tested with Clang 21 on x86_64, and i386.
Build tested with GCC 14.2.0 on x86_64, i386, arm64, and arm.
