  init: Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC-11 (2024-01-21 17:45:31 -0600)

Enable -Wstringop-overflow globally

Hi Linus,

Please, pull the following patches that enable -Wstringop-overflow,
globally. These patches have been baking in linux-next for a whole
development cycle.

I waited for the release of -rc1 to run a final build-test on top of
it before sending this pull request. Fortunatelly, after building
358 kernels overnight (basically all supported archs with a wide
variety of configs), no more warnings have surfaced! :)

Thus, we are in a good position to enable this compiler option for
all versions of GCC that support it, with the exception of GCC-11,
which appears to have some issues with this option[1].
