'make C=2 CHECK="sparse -Wflexible-array-sizeof"' does the trick.  However, it
produces a *lot* of warnings all over the place.

Unless there is an effort to actually address all of these so that this warning
can be enabled by default, I don't see the poinnt in addressing these just for
the warnings sake.  The change to fsverity_ioctl_measure() is definitely just
for the warning's sake, so I don't really want to do that one.  The change to
enable_verity() is a bit less useless, so I could still take that one.
