[bpf-next PATCH] bpf, selftests: fix warning in snprintf_btf where system() call unchecked

From: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com>
Date: 2020-09-29 20:08:15
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [selftests] (test runners & infrastructure), kernel selftest framework, the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Shuah Khan, Linus Torvalds

On my systems system() calls are marked with warn_unused_result
apparently. So without error checking we get this warning,

./prog_tests/snprintf_btf.c:30:9: warning: ignoring return value
   of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result[-Wunused-result]

Also it seems like a good idea to check the return value anyways
to ensure ping exists even if its seems unlikely.
