After commit 7bbf02b875b5 ("kbuild: Stop using '-Qunused-arguments' with
clang"), the PowerPC vDSO shows the following error with clang-13 and
older when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled:
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
clang-14 added a change to make sure this flag never triggers
-Wunused-command-line-argument, so it is fixed with newer releases. For
older releases that the kernel still supports building with, just filter
out this flag, as has been done for other flags.
Fixes: b174f4c26aa3 ("powerpc/vdso: Improve linker flags")

This should be the last flag that needs to be filtered (famous last
words...) but if any more come up, we should really just explore
switching the PowerPC vDSO to linking with $(LD) like every other part
of the kernel; for now, I hope this is fine.
Cheers,
Nathan
