kbuild: Fix passing -Wno-* options to gcc 4.4+

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

+	In the above example, -Wno-unused-but-set-variable will be added to
