When testing overflow and overread, there is no need to keep unnecessary
compilation warnings, we should simply ignore them.

How to reproduce the problem:

$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/
gcc     huge_count_read_write.c  -o /home/sd/Git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/damon/huge_count_read_write
huge_count_read_write.c: In function ‘write_read_with_huge_count’:

'checkpatch.pl' complains:

    WARNING: use relative pathname instead of absolute in changelog text
    #20:
    gcc     huge_count_read_write.c  -o /home/sd/Git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/damon/huge_count_read_write

Also, could we add four spaces indent for code snippet/command outputs like
above?

Thank you for sending this patch!

However, there was a similar patch from Yuanchu[1], and this causes another
warning for old gcc[2] that I use (9.4.0), like below.

    gcc -Wno-stringop-overread -Wno-stringop-overflow    huge_count_read_write.c  -o /home/sjpark/linux/tools/testing/selftests/damon/huge_count_read_write
    huge_count_read_write.c:13:32: warning: unknown option after ‘#pragma GCC diagnostic’ kind [-Wpragmas]
       13 | #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wstringop-overread"
          |                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wno-stringop-overread’

As mentioned as a reply to Yuanchu's patch, I'd slightly prefer making it
silent for both new and old compilers than this approach, but no strong opinion
from my side.  Yuanchu and Shuah, do you have some opinion?
