clang has more warnings enabled by default. Turn them off unless W is set.
This patch fixes a logic bug where warnings in clang were disabled when W was set.

Please remove this part, it has no effect. I assume that if it works for
you, these warning are not as annoying so they do not need to be disabled?
Actually they are annoying, that's why they're disabled normally. Most of them complain about practices which are relatively common in kernel code.

clang warns about a lot more things than gcc does. It means that code which compiles cleanly in gcc often doesn't with clang. This cuts out the warnings which are unlikely to to be fixed in kernel code anytime soon, but which are probably worth exposing when W=1 is used.

This part of the patch explicitly deals with complaints from some in the kernel community that clang is too noisy with kernel code.

This part of the patch needs to be somewhere. This seemed the best place.
