[PATCH v9 07/21] rcu: remove use of VLAs for Windows built code

[Andre Muezerie <andremue@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@huawei.com>

1) ./lib/rcu/rte_rcu_qsbr.c:359:9
    : warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘data’ [-Wvla]
2) ./lib/rcu/rte_rcu_qsbr.c:422:9
    : warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘data’ [-Wvla]

In both cases we allocate VLA for one element from RCU deferred queue.
Right now, size of element in RCU queue is not limited by API.
The approach is to introduce some reasonable limitation on RCU DQ
element size.
Choose 128B for now.
With that in place we can replace both VLA occurencies with fixed size
array.

Note that such change need to be treated as API change.
So can be applied only at 24.11.
