[PATCH v2 1/1] netfs: fix building with GCC 15

[Brahmajit Das <brahmajit.xyz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since the Linux kernel initializes many non-C-string char arrays with
literals. While it would be possible to convert initializers from:
   { "BOOP", ... }
to:
   { { 'B', 'O', 'O', 'P' }, ... }
that is annoying.
Making -Wunterminated-string-initialization stay silent about char
arrays marked with nonstring would be much better.

Without the __attribute__((nonstring)) we would get the following build
error:
fs/netfs/fscache_cache.c:375:67: error: initializer-string for array of ‘char’ is too long [-Werror=unterminated-string-initialization]
  375 | static const char fscache_cache_states[NR__FSCACHE_CACHE_STATE] = "-PAEW";
      |                                                                   ^~~~~~~
...
fs/netfs/fscache_cookie.c:32:69: error: initializer-string for array of ‘char’ is too long [-Werror=unterminated-string-initialization]
   32 | static const char fscache_cookie_states[FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE__NR] = "-LCAIFUWRD";
      |                                                                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Upstream GCC has added this commit
622968990beee7499e951590258363545b4a3b57[0][1] which silences warning
about truncating NUL char when initializing nonstring arrays.
