top: circumvent a false positive smatch error
The smatch error --------------
top.c +1414 calibrate_fields(78) error: buffer overflow 'Fieldstab' 39 <= 39
The code -----------------------
if (P_MAXPFLGS < f) { w->endpflg = i; continue; }
The background -----------------
The enum P_MAXPFLGS is strictly a fencepost and can *never* appear in
the arrays pflgsall or procflgs. Thus it (39th element) cannot be used
in referencing Fieldstab.
However, two enums of higher value (X_XON=40 and X_XOF=41) *can* appear
in those arrays. But the test against the fencepost ensures that those
two enums are *never* used in referencing Fieldstab.
When the analyzer sees the conditional using '<' and not '<='
it reports a false positive.
The source was changed to accommodate the tool's deficiency
