Add 'verbose' plugin parameter for stackleak gcc plugin.
It can be used for printing additional info about the kernel code
instrumentation.

For using it add the following to scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins:
  gcc-plugin-cflags-$(CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK) \
    += -fplugin-arg-stackleak_plugin-verbose

Would be nice if we instead could pass an argument to make which lets
us enable this.

This feature is useful only for debugging stackleak gcc plugin.

The cflag that enables it is similar to -fplugin-arg-structleak_plugin-verbose,
which is used for debugging the structleak plugin.

This debugging feature clutters the kernel build output, I don't think that many
people will use it. So IMO creating a separate argument for make is not really
needed.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Alexander

Yup, agreed. The precedent for plugin verbosity is via CONFIGs. They're
not really general purpose enough to justify a "make" argument.
