kbuild: Fix passing -Wno-* options to gcc 4.4+
commit 8417da6f2128008c431c7d130af6cd3d9079922e upstream. Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in the toplevel Makefile.

+ cc-disable-warning
+ cc-disable-warning checks if gcc supports a given warning and returns
+ the commandline switch to disable it. This special function is needed,
+ because gcc 4.4 and later accept any unknown -Wno-* option and only
+ warn about it if there is another warning in the source file.
+
+ Example:
+ KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, unused-but-set-variable)
+
+ In the above example, -Wno-unused-but-set-variable will be added to
+ KBUILD_CFLAGS only if gcc really accepts it.

cc-version
cc-version returns a numerical version of the $(CC) compiler version.
The format is <major><minor> where both are two digits. So for example
