[GIT PULL] overflow helper addition for v5.8-rc2

[Kees Cook]

Hi Linus,

Please pull this tiny overflow helper addition for v5.8-rc2. During the
treewide clean-ups of zero-length "flexible arrays", the struct_size()
helper was heavily used, but it was noticed that many times it would
have been nice to have an additional helper to get the size of just the
flexible array itself. This need appears to be even more common when
cleaning up the 1-byte array "flexible arrays", so Gustavo implemented
it. I'd love to get this landed before -rc2 so it can be used during
the v5.9 dev cycle to ease the 1-byte array cleanups.

Thanks!

-Kees
