likewise sys_bpf judging by the absence of bpf_int_jit_compile and friends in arch/alpha
The weak symbols mean it probably compiles/links, but it doesn't actually do
anything, and now instead of -ENOSYS, anyone trying to actually use that syscall
on alpha will get weird results.

Shutting up warnings like this strikes me as the wrong thing to do.
