Subject: [PATCH] init/Kconfig: Lower GCC version check for -Warray-bounds

We continue to see false positives from -Warray-bounds even in GCC 10,
which is getting reported in a few places[1] still:

security/security.c:811:2: warning: ‘memcpy’ offset 32 is out of the bounds [0, 0] [-Warray-bounds]

Lower the GCC version check from 11 to 10.

Reported-by: Lu Yao <yaolu@...inos.cn>
