selftests/bpf: Fix a clang compilation error for send_signal.c
Building selftests/bpf with latest clang compiler (clang15 built from source), I hit the following compilation error: /.../prog_tests/send_signal.c:43:16: error: variable 'j' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable] volatile int j = 0; ^ 1 error generated. The problem also exists with clang13 and clang14. clang12 is okay. In send_signal.c, we have the following code ... volatile int j = 0; [...] for (int i = 0; i < 100000000 && !sigusr1_received; i++) j /= i + 1; ... to burn CPU cycles so bpf_send_signal() helper can be tested in NMI mode. Slightly changing 'j /= i + 1' to 'j /= i + j + 1' or 'j++' can fix the problem. Further investigation indicated this should be a clang bug ([1]). The upstream fix will be proposed later. But it is a good idea to workaround the issue to unblock people who build kernel/selftests with clang.
