x86/boot: Use '-std=gnu11' to fix build with GCC 15

commit ee2ab467bddfb2d7f68d996dbab94d7b88f8eaf7 upstream.

GCC 15 changed the default C standard version to C23, which should not
have impacted the kernel because it requests the gnu11 standard via
'-std=' in the main Makefile. However, the x86 compressed boot Makefile
uses its own set of KBUILD_CFLAGS without a '-std=' value (i.e., using
the default), resulting in errors from the kernel's definitions of bool,
true, and false in stddef.h, which are reserved keywords under C23.

  ./include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: expected identifier before ‘false’
     11 |         false   = 0,
  ./include/linux/types.h:35:33: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
     35 | typedef _Bool                   bool;

Set '-std=gnu11' in the x86 compressed boot Makefile to resolve the
error and consistently use the same C standard version for the entire
kernel.
