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.

This would be great. It also implies we can then move it to `compiler_attributes.h` since it does not depend on config options anymore.
We should also rename it to `__nodiscard`, since that is the standardized name (coming soon to C2x and in C++ for years).
Cc'ing the Clang folks too to make them aware.
Cheers, Miguel

I can move it to compiler_attribute.h
This attribute is supported by gcc, clang, and icc. https://godbolt.org/z/ehd6so
I can send v2.
I do not mind renaming, but it should be done in a separate patch.

Of course -- sorry, I didn't mean we had to do them now, i.e. we can do the move and the rename later on, if you prefer.

Picked it up through compiler-attributes with the "appreciate" typo fixed on my end. I did a quick compile-test with a minimal config. Let's see if the -next bots complain...
Thanks!
