[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/8] examples/fips_validation: enhance getopt_long usage

[Ibtisam Tariq]

Hello David,

IMHO, it cannot be moved to read_uint16 parser.
If we do, we can't verify that the user input value is greater than
UINT16 MAX or not on the overflow data.

The temp variable:data_room_size is necessary to check the overflow of
the command line argument.
