Subject: [PATCH 04/12] kbuild: remove redundant extra warning flags

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

There is no point in turning individual options off and then on again,
or vice versa, as the last one always wins. Now that -Wextra always
gets passed first, remove all the redundant lines about warnings
that are implied by either -Wall or -Wextra, and keep only the last
one that disables it in some configurations.

This should not have any effect but keep the Makefile more readable
and the command line shorter.
