I could reproduce it with allmodconfig and gcc 11.4.1 from rockylinux,
but not with gcc 9.3 or 12.3. Also it's not reproduced with gcc 11.4.1
when using defconfig + CONFIG_DRM_XE  (even if  -Wstringop-overflow is
still added).

I don't see a bug in the code, even if it inverts the head/tail
convention.

Searching around showed this which may be relevant: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101854
At least I can reproduce the same issue as in the snippet provided
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101854#c7) with the buggy
compiler.

So, maybe the best thing to do for now is to disable -Wstringop-overflow
for gcc < 12?

and if we are tweaking the warnings, then do similarly in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn
so it doesn't show up again with W=1 builds. Thoughts?
