Subject: [PATCH 3/3] selftests/futex: pass _GNU_SOURCE without a value to the compiler

It's slightly better to set _GNU_SOURCE in the source code, but if one
must do it via the compiler invocation, then the best way to do so is
this:

    $(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE=

..because otherwise, if this form is used:

    $(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE

..then that leads the compiler to set a value, as if you had passed in:

    $(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE=1

That, in turn, leads to warnings under both gcc and clang, like this:

    futex_requeue_pi.c:20: warning: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined

Fix this by using the "-D_GNU_SOURCE=" form.
