bpf: adapt selftests to GCC 16 -Wunused-but-set-variable

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. Signed-off-by: Jose E.
