[PATCH v3][next] netfilter: x_tables: Avoid a couple -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings

["Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@kernel.org>]

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix the following warnings:

1 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:816:39: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
1 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:811:39: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM)
and a set of members that would otherwise follow it. This overlays
the trailing members onto the FAM while preserving the original
memory layout.
