[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH][next] virtchnl: Replace one-element array in struct virtchnl_ether_addr_list

[Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavoars@kernel.org>]

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use ?flexible array members?[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in struct
virtchnl_ether_addr_list instead of one-element array, and use the
flex_array_size() helper.
