Hi,

In order to keep ahead of cases in the kernel where Control Flow Integrity
(CFI) may trip over function call casts, enabling -Wcast-function-type
is helpful. To that end, replace BPF_CAST_CALL() as it triggers warnings
with this option and is now one of the last places in the kernel in need
of fixing.

Thanks,

-Kees

v2:
- rebase to bpf-next
- add acks
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210927182700.2980499-1-keescook@chromium.org (local)
Applied. Thanks
