This change enables to extend CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from command line, e.g.
to extend compiler checks: make USERCFLAGS=-Werror USERLDFLAGS=-static
USERCFLAGS and USERLDFLAGS are documented in
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst and Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst
This should be backported (down to 5.10) to improve previous kernel
versions testing as well.

Sorry for the delay. Looks good to me. I will apply to next to get
some soak time and get this into 6.2.
thanks,
