[GIT PULL] hardening updates for v7.0-rc1

[Kees Cook]

Hi Linus,

Please pull these hardening updates for v7.0-rc1. Mostly small cleanups
and various scattered annotations and flex array warning fixes that we
reviewed by unlanded in other trees. Introduces new annotation for expanding
counted_by to pointer members, now that compiler behavior between GCC
and Clang has been normalized.

Thanks!

-Kees
