[PATCH] selftests/mm: silence unused-result warnings

[Kevin Brodsky]

Switching to -O2 when building the mm tests has the unexpected side
effect of triggering many unused-result warnings on certain distros
like Ubuntu, where GCC is configured so that -O2 implies
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Explicitly disable FORTIFY_SOURCE to avoid those warnings. This has
no effect on upstream toolchains where FORTIFY_SOURCE is not
implicitly enabled.

Hi Andrew,

Could you please take this fixup patch for "selftests/mm: Build with
-O2" in mm-unstable? Ryan found that building the mm kselftests on
Ubuntu yields a bunch of warnings, this patch suppresses them.

Cheers,
- Kevin
