scripts/kernel-doc: match -Werror flag strictly

Browse Source 
In our CI testing, we use some commands as below to only turn a specific
type of warnings into errors, but we notice that kernel-doc warnings
are also turned into errors unexpectedly.

$ make KCFLAGS="-Werror=return-type" W=1 kernel/fork.o

>From the git history, commit 2c12c8103d ("scripts/kernel-doc:
optionally treat warnings as errors") introduces a new command-line
option to make kernel-doc warnings into errors. It can also read the
KCFLAGS environment variable to decide whether to turn this option on,
but the regex used for matching may not be accurate enough. It can match
both "-Werror" and "-Werror=<diagnostic-type>", so the option is turned
on by mistake in the latter case.

Fix this by strictly matching the flag "-Werror": there must be a space
or start of string in the front, and a space or end of string at the
end. This can handle all the following cases correctly:

KCFLAGS="-Werror" make W=1 [MATCH]
KCFLAGS="-Werror=return-type" make W=1 [NO MATCH]
KCFLAGS="-Wcomment -Werror -Wundef" make W=1 [MATCH]
KCFLAGS="-Wcomment -Werror=return-type -Wundef" make W=1 [NO MATCH]
