Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Remove unnecessary -Wno-unused-value

This flag turns off several other warnings that would
be useful. Most notably -warn_unused_result is disabled.
All of the following warnings are currently disabled:

UnusedValue
|-UnusedComparison
  |-warn_unused_comparison
|-UnusedResult
  |-warn_unused_result
|-UnevaluatedExpression
  |-PotentiallyEvaluatedExpression
    |-warn_side_effects_typeid
  |-warn_side_effects_unevaluated_context
|-warn_unused_expr
|-warn_unused_voidptr
|-warn_unused_container_subscript_expr
|-warn_unused_call

With this flag removed there are ~10 warnings.
Patches have been submitted for each of these warnings.
