kbuild: do not automatically add -w option to modpost



When there is a missing input file (vmlinux.o or Module.symvers), you
are likely to get a ton of unresolved symbols.

Currently, Kbuild automatically adds the -w option to allow module builds
to continue with warnings instead of errors.

This may not be what the user expects because it is generally more useful
to catch all possible issues at build time instead of at run time.

Let's not do what the user did not ask.

If you still want to build modules anyway, you can proceed by explicitly
setting KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1. Since you may miss a real issue, you need
to be aware of what you are doing.
