bpf: avoid uninitialized warnings in verifier_global_subprogs.c

[Changes from V1:
- The warning to disable is -Wmaybe-uninitialized, not -Wuninitialized.
- This warning is only supported in GCC.]

The BPF selftest verifier_global_subprogs.c contains code that
purposedly performs out of bounds access to memory, to check whether
the kernel verifier is able to catch them.  For example:

  __noinline int global_unsupp(const int *mem)
  {
	if (!mem)
		return 0;
	return mem[100]; /* BOOM */
  }

With -O1 and higher and no inlining, GCC notices this fact and emits a
"maybe uninitialized" warning.  This is by design.  Note that the
emission of these warnings is highly dependent on the precise
optimizations that are performed.

This patch adds a compiler pragma to verifier_global_subprogs.c to
ignore these warnings.

Tested in bpf-next master.
No regressions.
