Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Substract -Wformat-nonliteral from Wformat=2 in extra flags

The soon coming perf trace needs to use printf with dynamically built
formats.

But we are using -Wformat=2 which is a shortcut for the following set:
-Wformat -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k -Wformat-nonliteral

-Wformat-nonliteral warns when it can't check formats because they are
not builtin constant strings, but we want to feature dynamic formats.
What we want instead is Wformat=2 minus -Wformat-nonliteral, which is
what this patch does.
