When using EXTRA_CFLAGS, for example "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DREFCNT_CHECKING=1",
this construct stops setting -g which you'd expect would not be affected
by adding extra flags. Additionally, EXTRA_CFLAGS should be the last
thing to be appended so that it can be used to undo any defaults. And no
condition is required, just += appends to any existing CFLAGS and also
appends or doesn't append EXTRA_CFLAGS if they are or aren't set.

It's not clear why DEBUG=1 is required for -g in Perf when in libperf
it's always on, but I don't think we need to change that behavior now
because someone may be depending on it.
