Jose E. Marchesi 27a90b14b9 bpf: Build type-punning BPF selftests with -fno-strict-aliasing
A few BPF selftests perform type punning and they may break strict
aliasing rules, which are exploited by both GCC and clang by default
while optimizing.  This can lead to broken compiled programs.

This patch disables strict aliasing for these particular tests, by
mean of the -fno-strict-aliasing command line option.  This will make
sure these tests are optimized properly even if some strict aliasing
rule gets violated.

After this patch, GCC is able to build all the selftests without
warning about potential strict aliasing issue.

Tested in bpf-next master.
No regressions.
