Replace the deprecated one-element array with a modern flexible array
member in the struct nvsp_1_message_send_receive_buffer_complete.

1. How have you tested the change?
2. There is an instance of
`sizeof(struct nvsp_1_message_send_receive_buffer_complete))`
and your change decreases the size of the struct. Why do you think
that is fine?

Sorry, I actually changed this to struct_size_t(,,1), but forgot to add
it to the commit - will submit a v2 shortly.
