Subject: kbuild: remove redundant extra warning flags
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2024 14:20:33 +0200
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.
