[PATCH][next] overflow: Fix direct struct member initialization in _DEFINE_FLEX()

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

Currently, to statically initialize the struct members of the `type`
object created by _DEFINE_FLEX(), the internal `obj` member must be
explicitly referenced at the call site. See:

struct flex {
	int a;
	int b;
	struct foo flex_array[];
};

_DEFINE_FLEX(struct flex, instance, flex_array,
	     FIXED_SIZE, = {
		.obj = {
			.a = 0,
			.b = 1,
		},
	});

This leaks _DEFINE_FLEX() internal implementation details and make
the helper harder to use and read.

Fix this and allow for a more natural and intuitive C99 init-style:

_DEFINE_FLEX(struct flex, instance, flex_array,
	     FIXED_SIZE, = {
		.a = 0,
		.b = 1,
	});

Also, update "counter" member initialization in DEFINE_FLEX().
