[PATCH] net/qede: reduce the optimization level

[Thierry Herbelot <thierry.herbelot@6wind.com>]

The qede PMD stopped working under Ubuntu-24.04 (using gcc-13) when
compiled with -O3 (default level for all DPDK code). A bug is opened
for this issue (see Link).

A first workaround is to just disable all optimizations (-O0), which
restores packet Rx with Qlogic NICs. However, the performance impact
is not acceptable (around 50% drop).

A better compromise is to use -O1 for the qede PMD:
- there is some perf impact,
- but the PMD is working as expected (packets are correctly received).

When compiling with both -O2 and -O3 and gcc-13, there is no packet
reception when using the qede PMD. The root cause could be missing
'volatile' keywords or missing memory barriers in the qede PMD code.
