	open list:KERNEL HARDENING (not covered by other areas):Keyword:b__counted_by(_le|_be)?b

Use a flexible array member with kzalloc_flex to combine allocations
into one.

Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis. Move counting variable
assignment to right after allocation as required by __counted_by.
