Clang's -Wformat-overflow and -Wformat-truncation have chosen to check
'%p' unlike GCC but it does not know about the kernel's pointer
extensions in lib/vsprintf.c, so the developers split that part of the
warning out for the kernel to disable because there will always be false
positives.

Commit 908dd508276d ("kbuild: enable -Wformat-truncation on clang") did
disabled these warnings but only in a block that would be called when
W=1 was not passed, so they would appear with W=1. Move the disabling of
the non-kprintf warnings to a block that always runs so that they are
never seen, regardless of warning level.

Fixes: 908dd508276d ("kbuild: enable -Wformat-truncation on clang")
