When building DPDK with a "minsize" build, GCC is throwing the following
maybe-uninitialized warnings (errors with Werror):
In file included from ../lib/eal/include/rte_bitops.h:24,

I can reproduce this in GCC 13.3.0, 14.2.0, 15.2.0 and 16.0.1 - for minsize
builds only.
Neither of these indicate real bugs in the code - this patch series aims to
satisfy the compiler with minimal impact of the codebase.
