Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: Fix -Wstringop-overflow issues

pSMB->hdr.Protocol is an array of size 4 bytes, hence when the compiler
analyzes this line of code

	parm_data = ((char *) &pSMB->hdr.Protocol) + offset;

it legitimately complains about the fact that offset points outside the
bounds of the array. Notice that the compiler gives priority to the object
as an array, rather than merely the address of one more byte in a structure
to wich offset should be added (which seems to be the actual intention of
the original implementation).

Fix this by explicitly instructing the compiler to treat the code as a
sequence of bytes in struct smb_com_transaction2_spi_req, and not as an
array accessed through pointer notation.

Notice that ((char *)pSMB) + sizeof(pSMB->hdr.smb_buf_length) points to
the same address as ((char *) &pSMB->hdr.Protocol), therefore this results
in no differences in binary output.

Fixes the following -Wstringop-overflow warnings when built s390
architecture with defconfig (GCC 13):

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable
-Wstringop-overflow.
