makefile: Add -Werror support for RHEL
The -Werror flag should be enabled for RHEL. In ARK, however, it is a bit
tricky to enable -Werror as a build bug occasionally leaks through
upstream review and into Linus' tree. As a consequence, -Werror cannot be
enabled in ARK but the code to enable it for RHEL can be added to the
top-level makefile.
This code could be placed in the top-level Makefile, around the -Werror
line added by Linus in 3fe617ccafd6 ("Enable '-Werror' by default for all
kernel builds"), but given the amount of RHEL Only code here it is best to
keep it separated in our top-level makefile. Reviewers should note that
there is no harm in calling 'KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Werror' twice and that
-Werror only appears once in gcc calls when compiling kernel files.
