All supported compilers today (gcc v5.1+ and clang v11+) have support for
-mcmodel=medium. As such, NO_MINIMAL_TOC is no longer being set. Remove
NO_MINIMAL_TOC as well as the fallback to -mminimal-toc.

Should we still use $(call cc-option  here ?
As we only deal with medium model now, shouldn't we make it such that it 
fails in case the compiler doesn't support -mcmodel=medium ?

The -mcmodel= flag has been supported since 2010.  The kernel requires
a GCC from 2015 or later (GCC 5.1 is the minimum).  -mcmodel=medium is
(and always has been) the default, so it is always supported, yes.

Yup, v2 on its way.
