[PATCH] Makefile: 'Promote' -Wunused-but-set-variable to W=3

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Sat Sep 11 2021 - 10:29:17 EST



Upgrade -Wunused-but-set-variable to W=3 to avoid the build robots
sending endless spam for this garbage warning.

By promoting it to W=3 the robots will no longer report it and people
will no longer attempt to fix them by making the code worse.
