[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 03/11] eal: allow empty compile time flags RTE_COMPILE_TIME_CPUFLAGS

When RTE_COMPILE_TIME_CPUFLAGS is empty, the rte_cpu_check_supported()
code breaks with a "comparison is always false due to limited range of
data type".  This is because the compile_time_flags[] array is empty.
Assigning the array dimension to a local variable apparently solves this.
