eal: fix annotation on lcore variable allocator
The __rte_alloc_size(1) attribute on rte_lcore_var_alloc() is
semantically incorrect and causes false positives with FORTIFY_SOURCE
runtime checks.
The attribute tells the compiler that the function returns a pointer
to 'size' bytes of usable memory. However, rte_lcore_var_alloc()
actually returns a handle to a per-lcore variable scheme. The
allocator internally allocates 'size' bytes per lcore
(size * RTE_MAX_LCORE total), partitioned into per-lcore sections.
The handle points to lcore 0's copy, and accessed via
RTE_LCORE_VAR_LCORE(lcore_id, handle) which computes:
handle + (lcore_id * RTE_MAX_LCORE_VAR). Access is expected
beyond 'size' bytes beyond the returned pointer when 'lcore_id != 0'
but FORTIFY_SOURCE may terminate the program due to out of bounds
access.
This can be observed on CI with gcc 13.3.0 in lcore_var_autotest with
'*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated' if pointer provenance
is preserved (e.g. if offsets avoid casting to uintptr_t).
Fixes: 5bce9bed67ad ("eal: add static per-lcore memory allocation facility")
