jump_label: remove workaround for old compilers in initializations

The extra braces for the initialization of the anonymous union members
were added in commit cd8d860dcce9 ("jump_label: Fix anonymous union
initialization") to compensate for limitations in gcc < 4.6.

Versions of gcc this old are not supported anymore,
so drop the workaround.
