Using the end of rpc->entries[] for addressing runs into both compile-time
and run-time detection of accessing beyond the end of the array. Use the
base pointer instead, since was allocated with the additional bytes for
storing the strings. Avoids the following warning in future GCC releases
with support for __counted_by:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
