[PATCH 21.11] ring: squash gcc 12.2.1 warnings

gcc 12.2.1 on Fedora 37 is giving stringop-overread and
stringop-overflow warnings when compiled with --buildtype=debug
e.g. [1].

These are not yet fixed on main branch. They look similar
to the overflow issues previously squashed in rte_memcpy with
commit b5b3ea803e47 ("eal/x86: ignore gcc 10 stringop-overflow warnings")

In order to ensure DPDK 21.11.3 compiles on Fedora 37, squash these
warnings. If a subsequent cleaner fix becomes available on from main
branch it can be backported to later DPDK 21.11 LTS release.
