We're seeing new warnings on 32-bits architectures: Arm, i386, PowerPC, RISC-V and System/390:

       arp: Prevent overflow in arp_req_get().
       
       commit a7d6027790acea24446ddd6632d394096c0f4667 upstream.

Tuxmake reproducers:

   tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch arm     --toolchain gcc-12 --kconfig davinci_all_defconfig
   tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch i386    --toolchain gcc-12 --kconfig defconfig
   tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch powerpc --toolchain gcc-12 --kconfig maple_defconfig
   tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch riscv   --toolchain gcc-12 --kconfig defconfig

Reverting the change made the build pass again without warnings.
