In this case, we really want to have two flexible-array members,
but that is not possible. Removing the union to make insnsi a
flexible-array member while leaving insns as a zero-length array
fixes the warning, as nothing writes to the other one in that way.
This trick only works on linux-3.18 or higher, as older versions
had additional members in the union.

Not pretty but looks okay to me, both have the same offset afterwards
in the pahole dump as well.
struct bpf_prog {
[...]
unsigned int (*bpf_func)(const void *, const struct
bpf_insn *); /* 48 8 */
struct sock_filter insns[0]; /* 56 0 */
struct bpf_insn insnsi[]; /* 56 0 */
/* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 21 */
/* sum members: 50, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* sum bitfield members: 10 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 6 bits */
/* last cacheline: 56 bytes */
};
Applied to bpf-next, thanks!
