Commit 4a5838ad9d2d ("kbuild: Add extra gcc checks") added the -Wpacked-bitfield-compat flag. GCC manual says: "This warning is enabled by default. Use -Wno-packed-bitfield-compat to disable this warning." The test code in the manual: struct foo { char a:4; char b:8; } __attribute__ ((packed)); ... emits "note: offset of packed bit-field ‘b’ has changed in GCC 4.4" without W=3. Let's remove it, as it is a default with GCC. Clang does not support this flag, so its removal will not affect Clang builds.
