Building with -Wextra shows lots of warnings in the bpf
code such as

kernel/bpf/verifier.c: In function ‘jit_subprogs’:
include/linux/filter.h:345:4: warning: cast between incompatible function types from ‘unsigned int (*)(const void *, const struct bpf_insn *)’ to ‘u64 (*)(u64,  u64,  u64,  u64,  u64)’ {aka ‘long long unsigned int (*)(long long unsigned int,  long long unsigned int,  long long unsigned int,  long long unsigned int,  long long unsigned int)’} [-Wcast-function-type]
  345 |   ((u64 (*)(u64, u64, u64, u64, u64))(x))
      |    ^
kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10706:16: note: in expansion of macro ‘BPF_CAST_CALL’
10706 |    insn->imm = BPF_CAST_CALL(func[subprog]->bpf_func) -
      |                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

This appears to be intentional, so change the cast in a way that
suppresses the warning.

It is also utterly horrid.
If the value is ever cast back then there is a lot of scope
for it going badly wrong somewhere.
It certainly isn't valid to use the target type to call the original function.
