GCC 16 has changed the semantics of -Wunused-but-set-variable, as well
as introducing new options -Wunused-but-set-variable={0,1,2,3} to
adjust the level of support.
One of the changes is that GCC now treats 'sum += 1' and 'sum++' as
non-usage, whereas clang (and GCC < 16) considers the first as usage
and the second as non-usage, which is sort of inconsistent.
The GCC 16 -Wunused-but-set-variable=2 option implements the previous
semantics of -Wunused-but-set-variable, but since it is a new option,
it cannot be used unconditionally for forward-compatibility, just for
backwards-compatibility.
So this patch adds pragmas to the two self-tests impacted by this,
progs/free_timer.c and progs/rcu_read_lock.c, to make gcc to ignore
-Wunused-but-set-variable warnings when compiling them with GCC > 15.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44677#c25 for details
on why this regression got introduced in GCC upstream.

The main purpose of the test is to demonstrate the lock problem for the
free of bpf_timer under PREEMPT_RT. When freeing a bpf_timer which is
running on other CPU in bpf_timer_cancel_and_free(), hrtimer_cancel()
will try to acquire a spin-lock (namely softirq_expiry_lock), however
the freeing procedure has already held a raw-spin-lock.
The test first creates two threads: one to start timers and the other to
free timers. The start-timers thread will start the timer and then wake
up the free-timers thread to free these timers when the starts complete.
After freeing, the free-timer thread will wake up the start-timer thread
to complete the current iteration. A loop of 10 iterations is used.
