kbuild: Enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for clang 14.0.0+
Clang prior to 14.0.0 warns when a fallthrough annotation is in an unreachable spot, which can occur when IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_...) in a conditional statement prior to the fallthrough annotation such as if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_...)) break; fallthrough; which to clang looks like break; fallthrough; if CONFIG_... is enabled due to the control flow graph. Example of the warning in practice: sound/core/pcm_native.c:3812:3: warning: fallthrough annotation in unreachable code [-Wimplicit-fallthrough] fallthrough; ^ Warning on unreachable annotations makes the warning too noisy and pointless for the kernel due to the nature of guarding some code on configuration options so it was disabled in commit d936eb2 ("Revert "Makefile: Enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang""). This has been resolved in clang 14.0.0 by moving the unreachable warning to its own flag under -Wunreachable-code, which the kernel will most likely never enable due to situations like this. Enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for clang 14+ so that issues such as the one in commit 652b444 ("habanalabs/gaudi: fix missing code in ECC handling") can be caught before they enter the tree.
