Subject: [PATCH 1/1] samples/seccomp: eliminate two boring compile warnings in user-trap.c

samples/seccomp/user-trap.c is compiled with $(userccflags), and the
latter does not contain -fno-strict-aliasing, so the warnings reported as
below. Due to add "userccflags += -fno-strict-aliasin" will impact other
files, so use __attribute__((__may_alias__)) to suppress it exactly.

My gcc version is 5.5.0 20171010.

----------
samples/seccomp/user-trap.c: In function ‘send_fd’:
samples/seccomp/user-trap.c:50:2: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
  *((int *)CMSG_DATA(cmsg)) = fd;
  ^
samples/seccomp/user-trap.c: In function ‘recv_fd’:
samples/seccomp/user-trap.c:83:2: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
  return *((int *)CMSG_DATA(cmsg));
  ^
