Add the __counted_by() compiler attribute to the flexible array member
'data' to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

Changes in v2:
- Use __aligned(8) as suggested by David
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260409073711.57020-6-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
