Subject: [PATCH] Revert "KVM: x86: enable -Werror"

This reverts commit ead68df94d248c80fdbae220ae5425eb5af2e753.

Using the brain dead Werror flag fixes the build for me due to mostly
harmless KASAN or similar warnings:

arch/x86/kvm/x86.c: In function ‘kvm_timer_init’:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:7209:1: error: the frame size of 1112 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
 7209 | }

Feel free to add a CONFIG_WERROR if you care strong enough, but don't break
peoples builds for absolutely no good reason.
