[ Upstream commit c4d49196ceec80e30e8d981410d73331b49b7850 ]

commit d61491a51f7e ("net/sched: cls_u32: Replace one-element array
with flexible-array member") incorrecly replaced an instance of
`sizeof(*tp_c)` with `struct_size(tp_c, hlist->ht, 1)`. This results
in a an over-allocation of 8 bytes.

This change is wrong because `hlist` in `struct tc_u_common` is a
pointer:

net/sched/cls_u32.c:
struct tc_u_common {
        struct tc_u_hnode __rcu *hlist;
        void                    *ptr;
        int                     refcnt;
        struct idr              handle_idr;
        struct hlist_node       hnode;
        long                    knodes;
};

So, the use of `struct_size()` makes no sense: we don't need to allocate
any extra space for a flexible-array member. `sizeof(*tp_c)` is just fine.

So, `struct_size(tp_c, hlist->ht, 1)` translates to:

sizeof(*tp_c) + sizeof(tp_c->hlist->ht) ==
sizeof(struct tc_u_common) + sizeof(struct tc_u_knode *) ==
						144 + 8  == 0x98 (byes)
						     ^^^
						      |
						unnecessary extra
						allocation size

$ pahole -C tc_u_common net/sched/cls_u32.o
struct tc_u_common {
	struct tc_u_hnode *        hlist;                /*     0     8 */
	void *                     ptr;                  /*     8     8 */
	int                        refcnt;               /*    16     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct idr                 handle_idr;           /*    24    96 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */
	struct hlist_node          hnode;                /*   120    16 */
	/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
	long int                   knodes;               /*   136     8 */

	/* size: 144, cachelines: 3, members: 6 */
	/* sum members: 140, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};

And with `sizeof(*tp_c)`, we have:

	sizeof(*tp_c) == sizeof(struct tc_u_common) == 144 == 0x90 (bytes)

which is the correct and original allocation size.

Fix this issue by replacing `struct_size(tp_c, hlist->ht, 1)` with
`sizeof(*tp_c)`, and avoid allocating 8 too many bytes.

The following difference in binary output is expected and reflects the
desired change:
