Subject: [PATCH] [v2] bpf: work around -Wuninitialized warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Splitting these out into separate helper functions means that we
actually pass an uninitialized variable into another function call
if dec_active() happens to not be inlined, and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
is disabled:

kernel/bpf/memalloc.c: In function 'add_obj_to_free_list':
kernel/bpf/memalloc.c:200:9: error: 'flags' is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]
  200 |         dec_active(c, flags);

Avoid this by passing the flags by reference, so they either get
initialized and dereferenced through a pointer, or the pointer never
gets accessed at all.

Fixes: 18e027b1c7c6d ("bpf: Factor out inc/dec of active flag into helpers.")
