Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] selftests/bpf: fix unused-result warning in
 snprintf_btf.c

Daniel reports:

+    system("ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 > /dev/null");

This generates the following new warning when compiling BPF selftests:

  [...]
  EXT-OBJ  [test_progs] cgroup_helpers.o
  EXT-OBJ  [test_progs] trace_helpers.o
  EXT-OBJ  [test_progs] network_helpers.o
  EXT-OBJ  [test_progs] testing_helpers.o
  TEST-OBJ [test_progs] snprintf_btf.test.o
/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/snprintf_btf.c: In function ‘test_snprintf_btf’:
/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/snprintf_btf.c:30:2: warning: ignoring return value of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
  system("ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 > /dev/null");
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
