Subject: [PATCH] Makefile.extrawarn: Move -Wunaligned-access to W=2

-Wunaligned-access is a new warning in clang that is default enabled for
arm and arm64 under certain circumstances within the clang frontend (see
LLVM commit below). Under an ARCH=arm allmodconfig, there are
1284 total/70 unique instances of this warning (most of the instances
are in header files), which is quite noisy.

To keep the build green through CONFIG_WERROR, only allow this warning
with W=2, which seems appropriate according to its description:
"warnings which occur quite often but may still be relevant".

This intentionally does not use the -Wno-... + -W... pattern that the
rest of the Makefile does because this warning is not enabled for
anything other than certain arm and arm64 configurations within clang so
it should only be "not disabled", rather than explicitly enabled, so
that other architectures are not disturbed by the warning.
