[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 05/11] event/octeontx2: clean LTO build warnings (maybe-uninitialized)

During LTO build compiler reports some 'false positive' warnings about
variables being possibly used uninitialized.  This patch silences these
warnings.

Exemplary compiler warning to suppress (with LTO enabled):
error: ‘chunk’ may be used uninitialized in this function
[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
   bkt->current_chunk = (uintptr_t)chunk;
