Self review:

I'm wondering if we really need this thing... There won't be a GCC
version released with explicit relocation but without model attribute
(GCC 13 starts to support them both).

But without a check, if someone uses an early GCC 13 snapshot and
ignores the -Wattributes warning, the system will suddenly blow up
loading a module with per-CPU variable defined.

Maybe "-Werror=attributes" is better, but is it OK to add a -Werror=
option for entire Linux tree?
