turn off -Wattribute-alias

Starting with gcc-8.1, we get a warning about all system call definitions,
which use an alias between functions with incompatible prototypes, e.g.:

In file included from ../mm/process_vm_access.c:19:
../include/linux/syscalls.h:211:18: warning: 'sys_process_vm_readv' alias between functions of incompatible types 'long int(pid_t,  const struct iovec *, long unsigned int,  const struct iovec *, long unsigned int,  long unsigned int)' {aka 'long int(int,  const struct iovec *, long unsigned int,  const struct iovec *, long unsigned int,  long unsigned int)'} and 'long int(long int,  long int,  long int,  long int,  long int,  long int)' [-Wattribute-alias]

This is really noisy and does not indicate a real problem. In the latest
mainline kernel, this was addressed by commit bee20031772a ("disable
-Wattribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx()"), which seems too invasive
to backport.

This takes a much simpler approach and just disables the warning across the
kernel.
