scripts/kernel-doc: Override -Werror from KCFLAGS with KDOC_WERROR
Since commit 2c12c8103d8f ("scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat warnings as errors"), the kernel-doc script will treat warnings as errors when one of the following conditions is true: - The KDOC_WERROR environment variable is non-zero - The KCFLAGS environment variable contains -Werror - The -Werror parameter is passed to kernel-doc Checking KCFLAGS for -Werror allows piggy-backing on the C compiler error handling. However, unlike the C compiler, kernel-doc has no provision for -Wno-error. This makes compiling the kernel with -Werror (to catch regressions) and W=1 (to enable more checks) always fail, without the same possibility as offered by the C compiler to treating some selected warnings as warnings despite the global -Werror setting. To fix this, evaluate KDOC_WERROR after KCFLAGS, which allows disabling the warnings-as-errors behaviour of kernel-doc selectively by setting KDOC_WERROR=0.
