[PATCH] kbuild: drop -Wdeclaration-after-statement

[Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>]

Putting declarations in the beginning of the block is an afterfact from
single pass compiler era. Compiler would parse all declarations, layout
stack frame and proceed to generate code.

In C initialisers can be arbitrarily complex so there is no fundamental
distinction between initialiser and regular code.
-Wno-declaration-after-statement creates such distinction which is
entirely artificial.

This will save LOC in the long run because people would write code like
this:

	int a = f();

This will make one rare class of bugs even more rare:

	int a;
	...
	f(&a);	// bug, typo, should be f(&x)
	...
	a = g();

If declarations are allowed anywhere, the above would be written as

	f(&a);
	int a = g();

and it would not compile because "a" lives for less LOC window.
