fix invalid pointer access in UCX 1.11-1.14

[Flamefire]

(created using eb --new-pr)

I found this bug when the sanity check (ucx_info -d) crashed for UCX-CUDA on PPC which I traced to a bug in core UCX.

I added a patch to fix this and verified that UCX-CUDA now works even on PPC.

Analysis of the issue is in short in the patch and longer in openucx/ucx#9392
