[PATCH v4 0/6] fix build failures with LTO enabled

[Stephen Hemminger]

This series addresses build failures and warnings that occur when
compiling DPDK with Link Time Optimization (LTO) enabled. LTO performs
aggressive cross-compilation-unit inlining, which allows GCC's static
analyzer to detect both real bugs and generate false positive warnings
that are not visible without LTO.

The series fixes:
- Real bugs: buffer overflow in cnxk reassembly SA setup (heap corruption)
- Variable-length arrays that trigger warnings with LTO
- False positive warnings where compiler cannot prove bounds safety

v4
  - add Fixes tags where appropriate
  - Bugzilla ID's for existing bugs

The cnxk patches (1-4) should be applied together as they eliminate
all VLAs from common/cnxk and re-enable VLA warnings. The remaining
patches (5-6) address warnings in other subsystems.

Stephen Hemminger (6):
  common/cnxk: replace variable length state array
  common/cnxk: replace variable length array
  common/cnxk: re-enable vla warnings
  common/cnxk: fix buffer overflow in reassembly SA setup
  net/mlx5: fix LTO false positive stringop-overflow warning
  test/soring: fix stringop-overflow warning with LTO
