kbuild: turn on -Wextra by default

Browse Source 
Patch series "kbuild: enable more warnings by default", v3.

All the warning fixes I sent for these warnings have been merged into
mainline or linux-next, so let's turn them on by default.


This patch (of 6):

The -Wextra option controls a number of different warnings that differ
slightly by compiler version.  Some are useful in general, others are
better left at W=1 or higher.  Based on earlier work, the ones that should
be disabled by default are left for the higher warning levels already, and
a lot of the useful ones have no remaining output when enabled.

Move the -Wextra option up into the set of default-enabled warnings and
just rely on the individual ones getting disabled as needed.

The -Wunused warning was always grouped with this, so turn it on by
default as well, except for the -Wunused-parameter warning that really has
no value at all for the kernel since many interfaces have intentionally
unused arguments.
