Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Build with CPPFLAGS to get -Qunused-arguments

When building to record the mcount locations the kernel uses
KBUILD_CFLAGS but not KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. This means it lacks
-Qunused-arguments when building with clang, resulting in a lot of
noisy warnings.

Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley <joel@....id.au>

Not sure why -Qunused-arguments is in CPP instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS. We
could instead put it in KBUILD_CFLAGS, and not need this patch.
