[PATCH] ima: Add __counted_by for struct modsig and use struct_size()

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for
array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

Also, relocate `hdr->raw_pkcs7_len = sig_len;` so that the __counted_by
annotation has effect, and flex-array member `raw_pkcs7` can be properly
bounds-checked at run-time.

While there, use struct_size() helper, instead of the open-coded
version, to calculate the size for the allocation of the whole
flexible structure, including of course, the flexible-array member.

This code was found with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and
fixed manually.

Looks right; good catch on moving the assignment.
