I started getting warnings for this one file, though I can't see what changed
since it was originally introduced in commit fec7b6690541 ("samples: add an
example of seccomp user trap").

samples/seccomp/user-trap.c: In function 'send_fd':
samples/seccomp/user-trap.c:50:11: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
   50 |         *((int *)CMSG_DATA(cmsg)) = fd;
      |          ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
samples/seccomp/user-trap.c: In function 'recv_fd':
samples/seccomp/user-trap.c:83:18: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
   83 |         return *((int *)CMSG_DATA(cmsg));
      |                 ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using a temporary pointer variable avoids the warning.
