[PATCH 11/17] tty: hvc_console: use flexible array for outbuf

["Jiri Slaby (SUSE)" <jirislaby@kernel.org>]

This means:
* move outbuf to the end of struct hvc_struct and convert from pointer
  to flexible array (the structure is smaller now)
* use struct_size() at the allocation site
* align outbuf in the struct instead of ALIGN() at kzalloc()

And apart from the above, use u8 instead of char (which are the same
thanks to -funsigned-char). The former is now preferred over the latter.

It makes the code easier to understand.
