Subject: [PATCH 4.4 030/158] bpf: silence warning messages in core

[ Upstream commit aee450cbe482a8c2f6fa5b05b178ef8b8ff107ca ]

Compiling kernel/bpf/core.c with W=1 causes a flood of warnings:

kernel/bpf/core.c:1198:65: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
 1198 | #define BPF_INSN_3_TBL(x, y, z) [BPF_##x | BPF_##y | BPF_##z] = true
      |                                                                 ^~~~
kernel/bpf/core.c:1087:2: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_INSN_3_TBL'
 1087 |  INSN_3(ALU, ADD,  X),   \
      |  ^~~~~~
kernel/bpf/core.c:1202:3: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_INSN_MAP'
 1202 |   BPF_INSN_MAP(BPF_INSN_2_TBL, BPF_INSN_3_TBL),
      |   ^~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/bpf/core.c:1198:65: note: (near initialization for 'public_insntable[12]')
 1198 | #define BPF_INSN_3_TBL(x, y, z) [BPF_##x | BPF_##y | BPF_##z] = true
      |                                                                 ^~~~
kernel/bpf/core.c:1087:2: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_INSN_3_TBL'
 1087 |  INSN_3(ALU, ADD,  X),   \
      |  ^~~~~~
kernel/bpf/core.c:1202:3: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_INSN_MAP'
 1202 |   BPF_INSN_MAP(BPF_INSN_2_TBL, BPF_INSN_3_TBL),
      |   ^~~~~~~~~~~~

98 copies of the above.

The attached patch silences the warnings, because we *know* we're overwriting
the default initializer. That leaves bpf/core.c with only 6 other warnings,
which become more visible in comparison.
