Unlike gcc, clang warns about unused static inlines that are not in an
include file:
net/netfilter/core.c:344:20: error: unused function 'nf_ingress_hook' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
static inline bool nf_ingress_hook(const struct nf_hook_ops *reg, int pf)
^
net/netfilter/core.c:353:20: error: unused function 'nf_egress_hook' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
static inline bool nf_egress_hook(const struct nf_hook_ops *reg, int pf)
^
According to commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused
static inline functions for W=1 build"), the proper resolution is to
mark the affected functions as __maybe_unused. An alternative approach
would be to move them to include/linux/netfilter_netdev.h, but since
Pablo didn't do that in commit ddcfa710d40b ("netfilter: add
nf_ingress_hook() helper function"), I'm guessing __maybe_unused is
preferred.
This fixes both the warning introduced by Pablo in v5.10 as well as the
one recently introduced by myself with commit 42df6e1d221d ("netfilter:
Introduce egress hook").
Fixes: ddcfa710d40b ("netfilter: add nf_ingress_hook() helper function")
