Currently, -Wunused-but-set-variable is only supported by GCC so it is
disabled unconditionally in a GCC only block (it is enabled with W=1).
clang currently has its implementation for this warning in review so
preemptively move this statement out of the GCC only block and wrap it
with cc-disable-warning so that both compilers function the same.

Can we just take the above patch instead?

No because that patch has a prerequisite of commit a035d552a93b ("Makefile: Globally enable fall-through warning"), which is not suitable for stable because there were hundreds of warnings fixed before that was enabled.

Cheers,
Nathan
