-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the new TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix 159 of the following type
of warnings:

    159 ./include/linux/hyperv.h:711:38: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM)
and a set of members that would otherwise follow it. This overlays
the trailing members onto the FAM while preserving the original
memory layout.

Also, move `struct vmbus_close_msg close_msg;` at the end of
`struct vmbus_channel`, as `struct vmbus_channel_msginfo,` ends
in a flexible array member.
