Fix a compilation error:

In function '__rawmemchr',
    inlined from '__rawmemchr' at rawmemchr.c:27:1:
rawmemchr.c:36:12: error: 'memchr' specified bound 18446744073709551615 exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
   36 |     return memchr (s, c, (size_t)-1);
      |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
../o-iterator.mk:9: recipe for target '.../string/rawmemchr.o' failed

introduced with GCC 11 commit d14c547abd48 ("Add -Wstringop-overread 
for reading past the end by string functions.").
