[PATCH][next] ixgbe: Fix out-of-bounds warning in ixgbe_host_interface_command()

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Fix the following out-of-bounds warning by replacing the one-element
array in an anonymous union with a pointer:

  CC [M]  drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.o
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c: In function ‘ixgbe_host_interface_command’:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c:3729:13: warning: array subscript 1 is above array bounds of ‘u32[1]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[1]’} [-Warray-bounds]
 3729 |   bp->u32arr[bi] = IXGBE_READ_REG_ARRAY(hw, IXGBE_FLEX_MNG, bi);
      |   ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c:3682:7: note: while referencing ‘u32arr’
 3682 |   u32 u32arr[1];
      |       ^~~~~~

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds.

Notice that, the usual approach to fix these sorts of issues is to
replace the one-element array with a flexible-array member. However,
flexible arrays should not be used in unions. That, together with the
fact that the array notation is not being affected in any ways, is why
the pointer approach was chosen in this case.
