[PATCH] silence warnings when building kernel/bpf/core.c with W=1

[PATCH] silence warnings when building kernel/bpf/core.c with W=1

[Valdis Kletnieks]

Building with W=1 generates some 350 lines of warnings of the form:

kernel/bpf/core.c: In function '__bpf_prog_run':
kernel/bpf/core.c:476:33: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
   [BPF_ALU | BPF_ADD | BPF_X] = &&ALU_ADD_X,
                                 ^~
kernel/bpf/core.c:476:33: note: (near initialization for 'jumptable[12]')

Since they come from the way we intentionally build the table, silence
that one specific warning.

Patch submission must use a proper subsystem prefix in their Subject lines,
as this ends up in the kernel commit shortlog.

The appropriate subsystem prefix for this patch is "bpf: "
