Revert commit cebc04ba9aeb ("add CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK").
A lot of warn_unused_result warnings existed in 2006, but until now
they have been fixed thanks to people doing allmodconfig tests.
Our goal is to always enable __must_check where appreciate, so this
CONFIG option is no longer needed.
I see a lot of defconfig (arch/*/configs/*_defconfig) files having:
# CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK is not set
I did not touch them for now since it would be a big churn. If arch
maintainers want to clean them up, please go ahead.
