Subject: [PATCH net] selftests/bpf: fix pointer arithmetic in test_xdp_do_redirect

Cast operation has a higher precedence than addition. The code here
wants to zero the 2nd half of the 64-bit metadata, but due to a pointer
arithmetic mistake, it writes the zero at offset 16 instead.

Just adding parentheses around "data + 4" would fix this, but I think
this will be slightly better readable with array syntax.

I was unable to test this with tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh,
because my glibc is newer than glibc in the provided VM image.
So I just checked the difference in the compiled code.
objdump -S tools/testing/selftests/bpf/xdp_do_redirect.test.o:
  -	*((__u32 *)data) = 0x42; /* metadata test value */
  +	((__u32 *)data)[0] = 0x42; /* metadata test value */
        be7:	48 8d 85 30 fc ff ff 	lea    -0x3d0(%rbp),%rax
        bee:	c7 00 42 00 00 00    	movl   $0x42,(%rax)
  -	*((__u32 *)data + 4) = 0;
  +	((__u32 *)data)[1] = 0;
        bf4:	48 8d 85 30 fc ff ff 	lea    -0x3d0(%rbp),%rax
  -     bfb:	48 83 c0 10          	add    $0x10,%rax
  +     bfb:	48 83 c0 04          	add    $0x4,%rax
        bff:	c7 00 00 00 00 00    	movl   $0x0,(%rax)
