Subject: [PATCH] mempool/octeontx: fix natural alignment being optimized out

[ upstream commit 9ac7f8e57290df0e1d3da6c33010feb5ccb66dfb ]

The mbox messages are naturally aligned and in some cases compiler
optimization might disregard natural alignment.
Use volatile key word to force compiler to disable optimizing and
maintain alignment.

Fixes: aecb8e093b52 ("event/octeontx: introduce specialized mbox message copy")
