Subject: [PATCH RFC] kbuild: drop superfluous GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS assignment

GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS is already in the environment, so it is superfluous
to add it in commanline of final build of init/

This is only tested with Randomizing Structure Layout plugin. The test
method is not so grace but I think it can prove the correctness of this
patch. On the other hand, if we concerns that some flags cannot be
passed during final build, should also consider all the other flags.

Currently, with Randomizing plugin enabled, the crash utility can't work
with it, the symptom is a Segmentation fault due to infinite function call.

With the patch, the symptom is exactly the same, so I am sure the plugin works.
