     bpf: Fix build warning regarding missing prototypes

     Fix build warnings when building net/bpf/test_run.o with W=1 due
     to missing prototype for bpf_fentry_test{1..6}.

     Instead of declaring prototypes, turn off warnings with
     __diag_{push,ignore,pop} as pointed out by Alexei.

You probably use an old compiler (gcc < 8) which is why
the warning is emitted.
