Subject: [PATCH 5.17 0158/1126] lib/raid6/test: fix multiple definition linking error

From: Dirk Müller <dmueller@...e.de>

commit a5359ddd052860bacf957e65fe819c63e974b3a6 upstream.

GCC 10+ defaults to -fno-common, which enforces proper declaration of
external references using "extern". without this change a link would
fail with:

  lib/raid6/test/algos.c:28: multiple definition of `raid6_call';
  lib/raid6/test/test.c:22: first defined here

the pq.h header that is included already includes an extern declaration
so we can just remove the redundant one here.
