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

  ffffffff810001f0 <__startup_64>:
  ...
