Subject: [PATCH] md/bcache: Mark __nonstring look-up table

GCC 15's new -Wunterminated-string-initialization notices that the 16
character lookup table "zero_uuid" (which is not used as a C-String)
needs to be marked as "nonstring":

drivers/md/bcache/super.c: In function 'uuid_find_empty':
drivers/md/bcache/super.c:549:43: warning: initializer-string for array of 'char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (17 chars into 16 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
  549 |         static const char zero_uuid[16] = "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0";
      |                                           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add the annotation to silence the GCC warning.
