This became an issue after promoting curl compiler warnings to errors in
curl-for-win. The code is correct. It over-allocates a struct to store
variable sized data past its length. Similar code is present in
`lib/smb.c`, silenced earlier.
Seen in linux-musl-debian-testing-gcc curl-for-win builds, gcc 14.2.0,
RISC-V (but not amd64/aarch64), unity, debian:testing (trixie):
