[PATCH v3 1/6] test/soring: fix buffer overflow warnings with LTO

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

When building with LTO (Link Time Optimization), GCC performs
aggressive cross-compilation-unit inlining. This causes the compiler
to analyze all code paths in __rte_ring_do_dequeue_elems(), including
the 16-byte element path (__rte_ring_dequeue_elems_128), even when
the runtime element size is only 4 bytes.

The static analyzer sees that the 16-byte path would copy
32 elements * 16 bytes = 512 bytes into a 128-byte buffer (uint32_t[32]),
triggering -Wstringop-overflow warnings.

The existing #pragma GCC diagnostic suppression in rte_ring_elem_pvt.h
doesn't help because with LTO the warning context shifts to the test
file where the inlined code is instantiated.

Fix by sizing all buffers passed to soring acquire/dequeue functions
for the worst-case element size (16 bytes = 4 * sizeof(uint32_t)).
This satisfies the static analyzer without changing runtime behavior.
